3 Day 1: Factoring by GCF SWBAT: Factor polynomials by using the GCF. Warm Up Multiply each polynomial x(3 2x + 1) 4xy (3x + 6y - 7) Recall! The Property: ab + ac = a(b + c). - 1

4 Steps to Factoring by GCF Step 1: Find largest number that divides into ALL terms. Step 2: Find variables that appear in ALL terms and pull out the smallest exponent for that variable. Step 3: Write terms as products using the GCF as a factor. Step 4: Use the Distributive Property to factor out the GCF. Step 5: Multiply to check your answer. The product is the original polynomial. Example 1: Factoring by Using the GCF Factor each polynomial and check your answer. a) 2x b) 6x 2-9x Practice: Factor each polynomial using the GCF and check your answer. 1. 7x c c 3. 44n n x 5 18x 5. 10g 3 30g 6. 9m m 2

23 Factoring Trinomials Completely In the previous lesson, we saw how to factor a trinomial of the form bx c by employing the diamond method. In each of those cases, the coefficient of the quadratic ( ) term was always one, and thus not written. It is also possible to factor trinomials of the form a bx c where the coefficient a is a number other than 1 by combining two factoring methods into the same problem. 21

25 Challenge Problem: Recall that the volume of a rectangular solid (a box) is given by V L W H. If a particular rectangular solid has a volume of 5 15x 10, how would you represent the length, width and height of the solid? Justify your answer. SUMMARY Exit Ticket 23

28 Day 5: More Factoring Completely Warm - Up Some polynomials cannot be factored into the product of two binomials with integer coefficients, (such as x ), and are referred to as prime. Other polynomials contain a multitude of factors. "Factoring completely" means to continue factoring until no further factors can be found. More specifically, it means to continue factoring until all factors other than monomial factors are prime factors. You will have to look at the problems very carefully to be sure that you have found all of the possible factors. To factor completely: 1. Search for a greatest common factor. If you find one, factor it out of the polynomial. 2. Examine what remains, looking for a trinomial or a binomial which can be factored. 3. Express the answer as the product of all of the factors you have found. 26
