Factoring?
• Factoring is a method to find the basic numbers and variables that made up a product.
• (Factor) x (Factor) = Product
• Some numbers are Prime, meaning they are only divisible by themselves and 1 and not factorable.

More than ONE Method
• It is very possible to use more than one factoring method in a problem
• Remember:
• ALWAYS use GCF first
![Page 25: Review Factoring Techniques for the Final Exam](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815963550346895dc6a08a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example 1
• 2b2x – 50x
• GCF = 2x
• 2x(b2 – 25)
• 2nd term is the diff of 2 squares
• 2x(b + 5)(b - 5)
![Page 26: Review Factoring Techniques for the Final Exam](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815963550346895dc6a08a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example 2
• 32x3 – 2x
• GCF = 2x
• 2x(16x2 – 1)
• 2nd term is the diff of 2 squares
• 2x(4x + 1)(4x - 1)

ax2 + bx + c

Example 1: x2 + 11x + 24
Their sum equals the middle term of the trinomial.
When factoring these trinomials the factors will be two binomials: (x + )(x + )
We know that the first terms of each binomial must be x because the first term of the trinomial is x2 and x x = x2. The challenge is to find the last term of each binomial. They must be chosen so that they will cause the coefficient of the middle term and the last term of the trinomial to work out. (That’s 11 and 24 in this case.)
+ = 11Their product of those same numbers equals the
last term of the trinomial. = 24
![Page 29: Review Factoring Techniques for the Final Exam](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815963550346895dc6a08a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
List the factors of 24:
Example 1: x2 + 11x + 24
1 24
2 12
3 8
4 6
1 24 SUM = 25
2 12 SUM = 14
3 8 SUM = 11
4 6 SUM = 10
It is the factors 3 and 8 that produce a sum of 11 AND a product of 24 so they must be the last terms of each binomial.
(x + 3)(x + 8)
![Page 30: Review Factoring Techniques for the Final Exam](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815963550346895dc6a08a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
If we multiply these factors using FOIL, we get the polynomial that we started with.
(x + 3)(x + 8)= x2 + 8x + 3x + 24
(x)(x) = x2
(x)(8) = 8x(3)(x) = 3x(3)(8) = 24
As we look at the 4 terms above, it becomes apparent why the sum of the last terms in each binomial must be equal to the middle term of the trinomial.
(x + 3)(x + 8)= x2 + 8x + 3x + 24= x2 + 11x + 24
![Page 31: Review Factoring Techniques for the Final Exam](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815963550346895dc6a08a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Example 2: a2 + 16a + 28
Factors of 28:1 28
2 14
4 7
SUM = 16
a a = a2 so they are the first terms of each binomial and the factors 2 and 14 make a sum of 16 so the are the last terms of each binomial.
= (a + 2)(a + 14)
![Page 32: Review Factoring Techniques for the Final Exam](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051518/56815963550346895dc6a08a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Example 3: y2 + 2y + 1 Factors of 1:1 1
y2 + 2y + 1
= (y + 1)(y + 1)= (y + 1)(y + 1)
Factors of 1:1 1
Sometimes there is only 1 pair of factors to consider.
Example 4: m2 + 3m + 1 Factors of 1:1 1
In this example the factors available do not make a sum of 3 which means that the trinomial can’t be factored.
Example 5: p2 + 23p + 120
Factors of 120:1 120
2 60
3 40
4 30
5 24
6 20
8 15
10 12
1 120
2 60
3 40
4 30
5 24
6 20
8 15
10 12= (p + 8)(p + 15)= (p + 8)(p + 15)
In this example there are many pairs of factors to consider. Most examples will have fewer than these. The trick is in being able to quickly find all of the factors of c. p2 + 23p +
120
SUM = 2
SUM = 3
SUM = 23

In each of the preceding examples the signs of the terms in the trinomials were always positive. Now we will observe examples where the signs can be negative.
Example 6: x2 + 5x + 6 Factors of 6:1 6
2 3SUM = 5
Factors of 6:1 6
2 3
= (x + 2)(x + 3)
Example 7: x2 + 5x - 6 Factors of -6:-1 +6
-2 +3SUM = 5
When looking for the factors of a negative number, one must be positive and the other negative. If at the same time their sum is positive, then the factor that is bigger must be the positive one.
-1 +6
-2 +3
= (x - 1)(x + 6)

REVIEW OF RULES FOR SIGNS
Sign of bigger
number
(+) + (+) = (+)(+) + (-) = (-) + (+) = (-) + (-) = (-)
( )
ADDITION(+)(+) = (+)(+)(-) = (-)(-)(+) = (-)(-)(-) = (+)
MULTIPLICATION
Example 8: x2 - 5x - 6 Factors of -6:
SUM = -5
+1 -6
+2 -3
= (x + 1)(x - 6)
When both the product and sum are negative, the factors have opposite signs but this time the bigger factor will be negative.

Example 9: x2 - 5x + 6 Factors of 6:
SUM = -5
-1 -6
-2 -3
= (x - 2)(x - 3)
When looking for factors of a positive number when the sum is negative, both factors will be negative.
Example 10: x2 - 5x - 36 Factors of -36:1 -36
2 -18
3 -12
4 -9

SUM = -5
1 -36

Here we go! 1) Factor y2 + 6y + 8Use your factoring chart.
Do we have a GCF?
Is it a Diff. of Squares problem?
Now we will learn Trinomials! You will set up a table with the following information.
Nope!No way! 3 terms!
Product of the first and last coefficients
Middlecoefficient
The goal is to find two factors in the first column that add up to the middle term in the second column.
We’ll work it out in the next few slides.

We have two groups!(y2 + 2y)(+4y + 8)
If things are done right, the parentheses should be the same.
Almost done! Find the GCF of each group and factor it out.
y(y + 2) +4(y + 2)

Tadaaa! There’s your answer…(y + 4)(y + 2)You can check it by multiplying. Piece of cake, huh?
There is a shortcut for some problems too! (I’m not showing you that yet…)

Here are some hints to help you choose your factors in the
MAMA table.
1) When the last term is positive, the factors will have the same sign as the middle term.
2) When the last term is negative, the factors will have different signs.

2) Factor 2x2 - 14x + 12
Multiply Add+6 -7
Find the GCF!
2(x2 – 7x + 6)
Now do the MAMA table!
-7
-5
Signs need to be the same as
the middle sign since the
product is positive.
Replace the middle term.
2[x2 – x – 6x + 6]
Group the terms.
-1, -6
-2, -3

2[(x2 – x)(– 6x + 6)]Factor out the GCF
2[x(x – 1) -6(x – 1)]
The parentheses are the same! Weeedoggie!
2(x – 6)(x – 1)
Don’t forget to follow your factoring chart when doing these problems. Always look for a GCF
first!!
