Learning Competency: M8AL-Ia-b-1 The learner factors completely different types of polynomials
(difference of two cubes, perfect square trinomials, and general trinomials)
INTRODUCTION:
Example : Factor: 𝑥 3 − 8
Step 1: Get the cube root of each term and it is always positive
at the middle of both term.
Perfect square trinomial is the result of squaring a binomial. A perfect square trinomial has first
and last terms which are perfect squares and a middle term which is twice the product of the square
root of the first and last terms.

Example:
1. Factor 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1
Is this a perfect square trinomial? Yes, since both 4𝑥 2 and 1 are perfect squares and 4𝑥 is twice the
product of 2𝑥 and 1.
a. Square root of the first term: √4𝑥 2 = 𝟐𝒙
b. Square root of the last term: √1 = 𝟏
c. List down the square roots as sum or difference of two terms
(2𝑥 − 1) (2𝑥 − 1) 𝑜𝑟 (2𝑥 − 1)2
Example:
1. Factor 𝑥² + 9𝑥 + 14
➢ Identify the first, middle and last term.
First term is 𝑥²
middle term is 9𝑥
last term is 14
➢ Factor the first term.
𝑥² = (𝑥) (𝑥)
➢ Factor the last term.
the factors of 14 are (1 x 14 = 14) and (2 x 7 = 14)
➢ Identify the sum of the given factors
(1 𝑥 14 = 14) and (2 𝑥 7 = 14)
(1 + 14 = 15) (2 + 7 = 9)
➢ Choose the given factors whose sum is equal to the middle term.
(2 + 7 = 9) is the right answer since the numerical coefficient of the middle term is 9.
➢ Express the factors into two binomials.
𝑥² + 9𝑥 + 14 = ( 𝑥 + 2 ) ( 𝑥 + 7)

REFLECTION
A perfect square trinomial is a value that the first and last term is perfect square. The sign of
the factored integers depends on the sign between the first and middle term.
As a student, how will you use a perfect square trinomial in your daily life activities? Write your
answer in your journal notebook.
