SWBAT Factor a Quadratic Expression
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest numeric value and variable power that can be divided out of a polynomial. Always start by factoring out any GCF!
Example 1: Factor 8x4 – 12x3 – 16x2
GCF: 4x2
You can treat the coefficients separately from each variable. First, look for the largest value that is a factor of 8, 12, and 16. 4 is the largest valueThen, for each variable, find the greatest power of that variable that can be divided out of that variable. The greatest power of x that can be divided out of x4, x3, and x2 is x2.SWBAT Factor a Quadratic Expression

Think of what will remain when you divide each term by the GCF. Writing the problem this way may help you see what the remaining factor is. **Recall that when you divide powers of a variable, you subtract the exponents.Write the GCF on the left, and the remaining factor in parentheses on the right.4x2(2x2 – 3x – 4)

Example 2: 16x4 – 12x3 – 4x2 Be Careful of This!!! GCF: 4x2
4x2(4x2 – 3x – 1)

Example 2: Factor by GroupingWhen a polynomial has four terms, make two groups and factor out the GCF from each group.Factor 8x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 15 Step 1: Group terms that have common factors8x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 15 Step 2: Identify and factor the GCF out of each group 2x2(4x + 3) + 5 (4x + 3)

Step 3: Factor out the common binomial factor & Regroup:(4x + 3)(2x2 + 5) Step 4: CHECK (4x + 3)(2x2 + 5) = 8x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 15
