Slide 16 / 128 Factoring out GFs Return to Table of ontents The first step in factoring is to determine its greatest monomial factor. If there is a greatest monomial factor other than 1, use the distributive property to rewrite the given polynomial as the product of this greatest monomial factor and a polynomial. Slide 17 / 128 Example 1 Factor each polynomial. a) 6x 4-15x 3 + 3x 2 Find the GF 3x 2 6x 4 15x 3 3x 2 GF: 3x 2 3x 2 3x 2 3x 2 Reduce each term of the polynomial dividing by the GF 3x 2 (2x 2-5x + 1) The first step in factoring is to determine its greatest monomial factor. If there is a greatest monomial factor other than 1, use the distributive property to rewrite the given polynomial as the product of this greatest monomial factor and a polynomial. Slide 18 / 128 Example 1 Factor each polynomial. b) 4m 3 n - 7m 2 n 2 Find the GF GF: m 2 n Reduce each term of the polynomial dividing by the GF m 2 n(4n - 7n)
Sometimes the distributive property can be used to factor a polynomial that is not in simplest form but has a common binomial factor. Slide 19 / 128 Example 2 Factor each polynomial. a) y(y - 3) + 7(y - 3) Find the GF GF: y - 3 Reduce each term of the polynomial dividing by the GF (y - 3) ( y(y - 3) (y - 3) 7(y - 3) + (y - 3) ( (y - 3)(y + 7) Sometimes the distributive property can be used to factor a polynomial that is not in simplest form but has a common binomial factor. Slide 20 / 128 Example 2 Factor each polynomial. b) Find the GF GF: Reduce each term of the polynomial dividing by the GF In working with common binomial factors, look for factors that are opposites of each other. Slide 21 / 128 For example: (x - y) = - (y - x) because x - y = x + (-y) = -y + x = -(y - x)
10 True or False: y - 7 = -1( 7 + y) Slide 22 / 128 True False 11 True or False: 8 - d = -1( d + 8) Slide 23 / 128 True False 12 True or False: 8c - h = -1( -8c + h) Slide 24 / 128 True False

Given the following equation, what conclusion(s) can be drawn? ab = 0 Slide 118 / 128 Since the product is 0, one of the factors, a or b, must be 0. This is known as the Zero Product Property. Given the following equation, what conclusion(s) can be dr (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0 Since the product is 0, one of the factors must be 0. Therefore, either x - 4 = 0 or x + 3 = 0. x - 4 = 0 or x + 3 = 0 + 4 + 4-3 - 3 x = 4 or x = -3 Slide 119 / 128 Therefore, our solution set is {-3, 4}. To verify the results, substitute solution back into the original equation. To check x = -3: (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0 To check x = 4: (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0 (-3-4)(-3 + 3) = 0 (-7)(0) = 0 0 = 0 (4-4)(4 + 3) = 0 (0)(7) = 0 0 = 0 What if you were given the following equation?
