Homework Any Questions?
Factoring is the reverse process of multiplying polynomials.
You will be given a polynomial and you must figure out what 2 binomials would be multiplied together to equal it.
Today we are dealing with special cases only…
The three special cases are as follows:
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
When you factor, you are writing the product that would equal the polynomial… just like jeopardy, they give you the answer and you figure out the question.

Example 1: Factoring out a Monomial (one term)
Polynomial Common Factor Factored Form
3x + 6 3 3(x + 2)
5x2 – 15x 5x 5x(x – 3)
4x2 + 6x + 8 2 2(2x2 + 3x + 4)
Example 2: Binomial Square Patterns
To recognize the difference of two squares, look for coefficients that are squares and for variables that are raised to the second power
a2 – b2 = ?
(a + b)(a – b)
Factor the following:
A. 4x2 – 25 = ?
B. 25 – 49x2 = ? Think Square Root…
Answers: A. (2x + 5)(2x – 5) B. (5 + 7x)(5 – 7x)
To recognize a perfect square trinomial, remember that the first and last terms must be positive and perfect squares, and , and the middle term must be twice the product of a and b.
Example 3: Trinomial Patterns a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
Factor the following using trinomial patterns:
A. x2 – 4x + 4 = ?
B. 16y2 + 24y + 9 = ?
Again think square roots…
2a 2b
• Sometimes before you factor, you need to
remove a monomial then begin to factor.
Always do this step first so you never
forget!
Example 4: Removing a monomial
3 – 27 =
3( – 9) =
3(x + 3)(x – 3)
2x2x
Example 5: Factor the following: 64 – (x + 2)2
8 – (x + 2) 8 + (x + 2)
Distribute the signs 8 – x – 2 8 + x + 2
(6 – x) (10 + x)
