WARNING
Factoring is easy but it
needs to be conscious in it
and do not forget any step
from the steps because it
have many steps that can
confuse you .
STEP 1
First step is to factor the
greatest common factor
(GCF) and GCF means :
The highest number that
divides exactly into two
or more numbers.
STEP 2
Count the number of
terms , because there is
special ways to factor the
two terms expression
(binomial) , three terms
expression (trinomial) ,
and the four terms
expression (polynomial) .
STEP 3
If it was 2 terms
expression (binomial)
check if you can factor
it as difference of two
squares :
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b) or
a perfect square :
(a+b)^2 = a^2+ 2ab
+b^2
STEP 4
If it was 3 terms expression
(trinomial) check if it was
quadratic trinomial: a^2+bx+c
if it was a quadratic trinomial
make axc if the sum of it
become equal to b it can be
factor , if it was not equal it
cannot be factored , if it was
not a quadratic trinomial
solve it as step 1 by factoring
the GCF
STEP 5
If it was a 4 terms
expression (polynomial)
use the grouping method
, by taking the first two
numbers and factor them
, then take the second
two numbers and factor
them and make them in
two brackets .
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES
The length of Rebecca's
rectangular garden was
two times the width w.
Rebecca increased the
length and width of the
garden so that the area of
thew garden is
(2w^2+7w+6) square yard.
By how much did Rebecca
increase the length and the
width.
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES
the length of a rectangular porch is
(x+7)ft . The area of the porch is (x^2
+ 9x + 14)ft^2 . Find the width of the
porch.
You are given a sheet of paper and
told to cut out a rectangular piece
with an area of (4x^2-
44x+121)mm^2. The dimensions of
the rectangle have the form ax-b.
where a and b are whole numbers.
Find an expression for the perimeter
of the rectangle you cut out. Find the
perimeter when x=41mm.
