How To Factor Trinomials


In this article, we study about Factoring Trinomials. Trinomials are defined in Mathematics an expression containing 3 unlike terms. For example, xz+y-2 is a trinomial, whereas x2-3X-X is not a trinomial as this can be simplified in to a binomial. So for an expression to be a trinomial, we have 3 terms which cannot be further simplified. The degree of the trinomial is the highest degree in the expression. If the highest degree of all variables put together is 2 then it is called quadratic and if it is 3, then it is cubic function. Factoring trinomials is complicated than factoring numbers because numbers are all like terms, which we can add , subtract, etc. Also numbers we are familiar with tables and know the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 9, etc. But for expressions also we can become well-versed by continuous practice and doing exercises. Understanding the concept of factoring trinomials whenever it is of a square form, or whether +ve sign is there, or -ve sign is there, if we understand then factorization will be one step further.

The advantage of trinomial is that its degree normally does not exceed 2. Hence quadratic formula we can apply if we cannot find exact splitting up of the x term. Eg :- x2-2x-1 is of degree 2 whereas x4-x2-1 is a trinomial of degree 4. Factoring trinomials can be done in any of the following ways. We already know these identities as (a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2 (a-b)2 = a2-2ab+b2 (x+a)(x+b) = x2+x(a+b)+ab These can be applied in reverse to factoring trinomials of this form. Example :- Factorize x2-6x+9 This is of the form x2-2(x)(3)+32 . So factors are (x+3)2 Next is factorise 25x2-50x+1 = (5x)2-2(5x)(1)+1 = (5x-1)2

Thus these type of terms can be easily factored. Hence given a polynomial we check whether it is a quadratic with on variable, if it is so, check whether first term and last term is a square. If it is satisfied then check for middle term whether it is of the form 2ab. Thus this identity in reverse is used in factoring trinomials, For expressions of the form say x2-6x+5 , we have 5=5*1, and 6 =5+1, thus the third identity can be applied here to factorize. So the expression = (x-5)(x-1). Thus these three identities are helpful in Factoring trinomials. Factoring Trinomials Worksheets Here are some exercise problems for factoring trinomials i. Factorize: 1. x2-3x-70 2. x2-18x+81 3. x2+2+ 4. 2x2-8x-6

ii. Find the constant a and b 1. x2-ax+b = (x-1)(x-8) 2. x2-2ax+a2 = (x-3)2 3. x2-ax-b = (x-7)(x+1) iii. Word problems 1.A number added to 7 and multiplied by the number added to 3 gives 21, Find the number 2. A number twice added to 7 multiplied by 3 less than the number gives 57. Find the number 3. The square of a number subtracted from 95 gives square of the difference of number and 1Find the number. 4. A number when added to two and multiplied by3 gives the square of the number +2. Find the number. Answers :- i.(x-1)2,(x-9)2, (x+)2,2(x2-4x-3) ii. (-9, 8),(a = 3),(-6, -7) iii.0, 3, 7, 4.
