Algebra 1 8.6 Choosing a Factoring Method
Learning Targets • Language Goal: Students will be able describe an appropriate method for factoring a polynomial. • Math Goal: Students will be able to combine methods for factoring a polynomial. • Essential Question: Why is it important to have multiple methods to factor polynomials?
Example Type 1: Determining Whether a Polynomial Is Completely Factored Tell whether the polynomial is completely factored. If not, factor it. A. 2x(x² + 4) B. (2x + 6)(x + 5) C. 5x²(x – 1)
Example Type 1: Determining Whether a Polynomial Is Completely Factored Tell whether the polynomial is completely factored. If not, factor it. D. (4x + 4)(x + 1) E. 3x²(6x – 4) F. (x² + 1)(x – 4)
Example Type 1: Determining Whether a Polynomial Is Completely Factored Tell whether the polynomial is completely factored. If not, factor it. G. 3x(9x² – 4) H. 2(x³ – 2x² – 8x)
Factoring Polynomials Step 1: Check for a greatest common factor. Step 2: Check for a pattern that fits the difference of two squares or a perfect-square trinomial. Step 3: - To factor x² + bx + c, look for two numbers whose sum is b and whose product is c. (Product Sum Method) - To factor ax² + bx + c, check factors of a and factors of c in the binomial factors. The sum of the products of the outer and inner terms should be b. (Boston Method Step 4: Check for common factors
