Integrated MATHEMATICS FACTORING
Factoring using gcf Steps • Find the greatest common factor (GCF) • Divide the polynomial by the GCF. The quotient is the other factor. • Express the polynomial as the product of the quotient and the GCF.
Difference of two squares • There must be two terms that are both squares • Examples of squares • There must be a minus sign between the two terms
Perfect squares 1² = 1 11²= 121 2² = 4 12² = 144 3² = 9 13² = 169 4² = 16 14² = 196 5² = 25 15² = 225 6² = 36 16² = 256 7² = 49 17² = 289 8² = 64 18² = 324 9² = 81 19² = 361 10² = 100 20² = 400

Factoring Completely • Means to factor until factoring is no longer possible
Factoring a trinomial: • Write two sets of parenthesis, ( )( ). These will be the factors of the trinomial. 2. Think of factors of c that add up to b.
