Factoring Techniques

Common Monomial Factoring
Factoring the polynomial using Greatest Common Monomial Factor (GCMF) takes
this form:
Observe that there are two steps in using this technique: Step 1, find the greatest
common monomial factor (GCMF). Step 2, divide the given polynomial by the
greatest common monomial factor to obtain the remaining factor.
For example,
To factor 4b3 + 8b2, the first step is to find the greatest common monomial factor.
To do that, consider the numerical coefficients 4 and 8. These numbers have 4 as
their GCF. Next, consider the literal coefficients b3 and b2. Their GCF is b2. (Since
the literal coefficients have the same base, which is b, simply take the coefficient
with the smallest exponent, and that is b 2.) Thus, the greatest common monomial
factor of 4b3 + 8b2 is 4b2.
Now, to find the second factor, divide each term of 4b3 + 8b2 by 4b2.
4𝑏3 8𝑏2
+ = 𝑏 + 2. Thus, the factors of 4b3 + 8b2 are 4b2 and b + 2.
4𝑏2 4𝑏2
Note that you can check whether your work is correct by doing distributive property
of multiplication.
Other examples,
The factors of a difference of two squares are the sum and difference of the terms
being squared, that is,
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Examples,
Other examples,
36a3b2 – a = a(36a2b2 – 1) x4 – y4 = (x2)2 – (y2)2
3
Factoring Sum and Difference of Two Cubes
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)
a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
A polynomial is a sum or difference of two cubes if:
a. It is a binomial.
b. Each term is a cube.
For example,
To factor 8x3 + 27, express each term as a cube then use the above-mentioned
formula. Note that 8x3 + 27 = (2x)3 + (3)3 Since the expression is a sum of two
cubes, we can use the formula,
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)
8x3 + 27 = (2x)3 + (3)3
= (2x + 3)(4x2 – 6x + 9)
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
4
For example,
x2 + 6xy + 9y2 is a perfect square trinomial. The squared terms are x2 and 9y2. Note
that x2 = (x)2 and 9y2 = (3y)2. The middle term 6xy is twice the product of x and 3y.
Using the formula, a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2, where a = x and b = 3y, we have
2(x)(3y)
Another example of a perfect square trinomial is 4x2 – 20x + 25. The squared terms
are 4x2 = (2x)2 and 25 = (5)2. The middle term -20x is the negative of twice the
product of 2x and 5. Using the formula, a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2, where a = 2x and b
= 5, we have
4x2 – 20x + 25 = (2x – 5)2
(2x)2 (-5)2
2(2x)(-5)
By looking at the examples below, you will be able to see a pattern so that you can
factor a perfect square trinomial easily.
To factor general trinomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c, where a = 1, you may use the
X-Factor Technique like in the example presented below.
Thus, x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2)
5
Factoring General Trinomial in the form ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 1
To factor general trinomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 1, you may use the
Trial-and-Error Method with the following steps:
1. Look for a common factor.
2. Factor the first term, Ax2.
3. Factor the last term, C.
4. Look for factors in (2) and (3) such that the sum of their product is the
middle term Bx.
Write the possibilities and check the middle term using the FOIL
method.
Note: You may just choose some of the combinations until you get the
right factors.
Example:
Factor completely.

Lesson
Application of Factoring
2
Several real-life situations can be solved using factoring. To begin with, let us
consider the following examples.
Example 1
The area of a square is 9x2 + 12x + 4 square units. What expression represents the
length of the side?
Solution:
To find the expression representing the side of the square, first, let us recall the
formula in getting the area of a square. A = s 2. Notice that the area of the square is
9x2 + 12x + 4 square units. By substituting this expression to the formula, and by
applying the concept of factoring, we have,
A = s2 = (s)(s)
8
9x2 + 12x + 4 = (3x + 2)2 = (3x + 2)(3x + 2)
Note that the idea of solving problems using factoring can also be applied to
situations that are translated to polynomial equations, as shown in the next example.
Example 2
If a volleyball league consists of x teams in which every team plays with every other
team twice, and the total number of games played is x2 – x.
a. How many teams are there in a league that plays a total of 42 games?
b. If there were 12 teams in the league, how many games in all would be played?
Solution:
a. Since the total number of games played is given by x2 – x and we want to find
the total number of teams if there are a total 42 games, then we have,
x2 – x = 42
(x – 7)(x + 6) = 0 Factor
Example 3
Josephus bought a carpet to cover the floor of his rectangular room that has an area
of 96 ft2. The width of the room is 4ft less than the length. Find the dimension of the
room.
Solution:
x–4
9
The area of the rectangle is equal to the product of the length and the width, in
symbols, A = LW. By using the illustration presented, we have,
x(x – 4) = 96 Substitution
x2 – 4x = 96 Simplifying
(x – 12)(x + 8) = 0 Factor
x = 12 or x = -8 Solve for x
The length of the floor cannot be -8, so we discard x = -8 and accept x = 12. Hence,
the length is 12 ft.
x – 4 = (12) – 4 = 8.
A phone manufacturer finds that the revenue R in thousands of pesos from the sale
of x phones is given by R(x) = 4x2 – 17x. If the cost C, in thousands of pesos, of
producing x phones is given by C(x) = 3x2 – 5x + 45, how many phones must be
produced and sold for the manufacturer to break even?

MODULE 3
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
on how to distinguish examples of rational algebraic expressions from non-examples,
and on how to simplify rational algebraic expressions. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow
the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
Example,
11
a. To find the values of x that will make the denominator 0, let us solve for x in
x + 5 = 0. Therefore, the rational expression is undefined for x x = -5.
b. To find the values of x that will make the denominator 0, let us solve for x in
x2 – 4 = 0. By factoring,
x2 – 4 = 0
(x + 2)(x – 2) = 0
x+2=0 or x–2=0
x = -2 or x=2
Hence, the expression is undefined for x = -2 and x = 2.
Recall that a fraction is said to be in its lowest term if its numerator and denominator
have no common factor other than 1. This idea can be extended and applied to
simplifying rational algebraic expressions.
Here are the steps to simplify a rational algebraic expression to its lowest terms:

MODULE 5
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you apply
rectangular coordinate system in various situations, illustrate linear equation in two
variables and to find the slope of the given line given a certain condition. The scope
of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you
read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The Rectangular Coordinate System also known as Cartesian Coordinate System was
invented and named after the famous Mathematician, René Descartes. He is also
considered as the father of Modern Mathematics.
19
The Cartesian Plane is formed by two
number lines. The horizontal number QII QI
line is called x-axis and the vertical (+, +)
(- , +)
number line is called y-axis. The Origin
Cartesian plane is divided into four
regions, known as quadrants, namely
quadrant I (QI), quadrant II (QII), QIV
quadrant III (QIII), and quadrant IV QIII
(QIV). The intersection of the x- and (- , -) (+ , -)
y-axis is called origin. The coordinate
of the origin is (0,0). Each point in the
Cartesian plane is an ordered pair (x,y), where the x-coordinate is also called abscissa
and the y-coordinate is called ordinate. Also, notice that the sign of the x-coordinate
and y-coordinate varies from quadrant to quadrant.
The next question is, how do we determine the coordinates of a point plotted on the
Cartesian plane? Using the same Cartesian plane, determine the coordinates of Point
C and Point D.
Solution:
Note that Point C is 2 units to the left of the origin and 3 units up. Therefore, Point
C has the coordinates of (-2,3) and obviously located at QII. Point D is 8 units to the
20
right of the origin and 9 units downward. Therefore, Point D has the coordinates of
(8,-9) and is located at QIV.
Construct you own Cartesian plane and plot the following points below.
Connect the points alphabetically. For example, connect A to B, B to C and
so on.

Lesson LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO
5.2 VARIABLES
Ax + By = C
where a, b, and c are real numbers, but a and b cannot be both zero.
The solution of a linear equation in two variables is an ordered that satisfies the
equation, thus makes a true mathematical statement. For example, determine
whether (1,2) is a solution to 2x + y = 4.
Slope of a Line
There are several methods to find the slope of a line. But what does slope mean?
Slope means steepness of the line. The slope of a straight line is defined as the ratio
of the vertical rise to its corresponding run. In other words,
𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦
Slope = =
𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑥
The above formula works best when you are tasked to find the slope of a line when
given a graph.
The slope of a line can also be computed algebraically using the formula:
𝑦2 −𝑦1
m= , where 𝑥2 ≠ 𝑥1
𝑥2 −𝑥1
Remember,
If the slope is positive, the line goes uphill from left to right.
If the slope is negative, the line goes downhill from left to right.
22
For example,
It does not matter which point is called (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and which is called (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ). Following
the given formula, you will still arrive at the same answer.
If the equation is given in standard form, Ax + By = C, you may use the formula,
−𝑎
m= .

For example, find the slope of the line whose equation is y = -3x + 7.
Find the slope of a straight line that passes through the given pair of points,

MODULE 6
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you graph
a linear equation in two variables. The scope of this module permits it to be used in
many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The standard form of linear equation Ax + By = C can be transformed into the Slope-
Intercept form y = mx + b. Each form has unique characteristics and advantages
especially when graphing a linear equation that is why you must learn to convert the
equation from standard form to slope-intercept form and vice-versa.
Example 1: Write 2x + y = 8 in slope-intercept form.
2x + y = 8 add -2x on both sides
y = -2x + 8
Example 2: Write y = 3x – 5 in standard form.
y = 3x – 5 add -3x on both sides
-3x + y = = -5
24
Example 3: Write 3x – 2y = 6 in slope-intercept form.

Lesson
THE EQUATION OF A LINE
7
Slope-Intercept Form
If the slope and the y-intercept of the line are given, you can use the slope-intercept
form to find the equation of a line.
28
Find the equation of a line whose slope is 2 and whose y-intercept is 3.
Solution:
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 3
Therefore, the equation of the line whose slope is 2 and whose y-intercept is 3 is
y = 2x + 3 or 2x – y = -3.
Point-Slope Form
If the slope and a point on the line are given, you can use the point-slope form to
find the equation of a line.
Recall that the formula in finding the slope of the line that passes through the
points (x1, y1) and (x,y) is
𝑦 − 𝑦1
𝑚=
𝑥 − 𝑥1
y – y1 = m (x – x1)
Example:
Find the equation of the line with slope 2 and passes through (1,5)
Solution:
Therefore, the equation of the line whose slope is 2 and passing through the point
(1,5) is y = 2x + 3 or 2x – y = -3.
29
The point-slope form of the equation of the line y – y1 = m (x – x1) can also be used
when finding the equation of the line given any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). However,
since the slope of the line is not given, it must be solved first.
Two-Point Form
The equation of the line passing through two given points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
written by
𝑦2 −𝑦1
y – y1 = ( )(x – x1) where 𝑥2 ≠ 𝑥1
𝑥2 −𝑥1
Example:
Write the equation of the line passing through (-1,-3) and (2,3)
Solution:
Let (-1,3) be (x1,y1) and (2,-2) be (x2,y2).
Using the two-point form of the equation of the line we have,
𝑦2 −𝑦1
y – y1 = ( )(x – x1)
𝑥2 −𝑥1
3−(−3)
y – (-3) = ( )(x – (-1)) Substitute the values
2−(−1)
6
y + 3 = ( )(x + 1) Simplify
3
y + 3 = 2(x + 1) Distribute 2 to (x + 1)
y + 3 = 2x + 2 Subtract 3 to both sides
y = 2x – 1
Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the points (-1,3) and (2,-2) is
y = 2x – 1 or 2x – y = 1.
Intercept Form
If both the x and y-intercepts are given, then you can use the intercept-form in
finding the equation of the line.
Example:
Write the equation of the line whose x-intercept is 2 and whose y-intercept is 3.
30
Solution:
3x + 2y = 6
Therefore, the equation of the line whose x-intercept is 2 and whose y-intercept is 3
is 3x + 2y = 6.
Example 1:
Therefore, Jim earns Php 350 in one day for selling 100 pieces of graham balls.
Therefore, Jim earns Php 650 in one day for selling 200 pieces of graham balls.
31
b. The relationship can be expressed by the equation
y = 3x + 50
where x = the number of graham balls sold
y = the amount he earns
Note that Php 3 is what he earns per graham ball sold and Php 50 for a day tip.
1. m = -3; y-intercept = 12
2
2. m = ; y-intercept = -3
3
3. m = -2; (-1,4)
4. (-3,5) & (1,3)
5. x-intercept = 3, y-intercept = 5
The minimum jeepney fare in 2009 was Php 7.00, while in 2021, it was Php 10.00.

MODULE 8
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the System of Linear Equation in Two Variables. The scope of this module permits it
to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
Several real-life situations can be represented by a linear equation where there is one
or more unknown quantities. When the same kind of situation is translated to two
or more linear equations in two variables, this is now called a system of linear
equation in two variables. These problems can be solved using an appropriate
method like graphing, substitution, or elimination.
The System of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations. It can be
written as
𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑏1 𝑦 = 𝑐1
𝑎2 𝑥 + 𝑏2 𝑦 = 𝑐2
33
Where A, B and C are all real numbers, and x and y are both not equal to zero in
each equation.
Examples:
3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 5 𝑥 + 5𝑦 = 0
{ {
2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 2 3𝑥 − 7𝑦 = 0
Before we proceed to solving a system of linear equation in two variables, let us first
determine the process of telling whether a given ordered pair is a solution to the
system or not.
𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 8 2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 1
(2) + 2(3) = 8 2(2) − (3) = 1
2+6 =8 4−3 =1
8 = 8, True 1 = 1, True
Since (2,3) satisfies both equations of the system, we can conclude that (2,3) is a
solution.
Let y = 0 Let x = 0
𝑥 + 2(0) = 8 0 + 2y = 8
34
Equation 2: 2x – y = 1
2𝑥 − (0) = 1 2(0) - y = 1
Graph each equation on the Cartesian plane using their x- and y- intercept. You will
see that the lines intersect at (2,3). This system is called Consistent-Independent
which has only one solution and that is (2,3). You can easily tell the kind of system
it is, how the graph will look and the number of solutions it has, if any. The table
below shows you how.
Direction: Graph the given system of linear equations using the Intercept- Method.
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 6 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1
1. { 2. {
𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 4 𝑦= 𝑥+2

MODULE 9
This module was designed and created to help you solve problems involving systems
of linear equation in two variables. You learned in the previous module the process
of graphing a system of linear equation in two variables and how to categorize
whether the system has parallel or intersecting lines, as well as the number of
solutions in each system. In this module, you will learn the different methods in
solving a system of linear equations in two variables. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many applications in real-life.
A system of linear equations in two variables refers to two or more linear equations
in two variables with two unknowns for which values are solved either graphically
or algebraically that are common solutions of the equations involved. In this lesson,
you will be able to solve problems involving systems of linear equations in two
variables by graphing and by algebraic methods like substitution and elimination.
36
Solving Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables by
Graphing
Using activity 1, let us solve this problem by graphing.
Problem 1:
Solution:
x + y = 12 This is equation 1.
Since a goat has four legs, and a chicken has two legs, let us multiply the number
of goats (x) by 4 and the number of chickens (y) by 2 and equate their sum to the
total number of animal legs which is 42.
4x + 2y = 42 This is equation 2.
x + (0) = 12
x = 12
(0) + y = 12
y = 12
37
Plotting the points (12,0) and (0,12), we can then
graph x + y = 12.
x = 10
4(0) + 2y = 40
y = 20
Plotting the points (10,0) and (0,20), we can then graph 4x + 2y = 40.
Looking at the graph of both lines, you will notice that they intersect at (8,4). This
means that the unique solution to the system is x = 8 and y = 4.
x + y = 12 4x + 2y = 40
12 = 12 32 + 8 = 40
40 = 40
38
Problem 2:
x + y = 12
The longer piece is 3-feet longer than twice, the shorter piece.
y = 2x + 3
x + y = 12 Equation 1
y = 2x + 3 Equation 2
x + y = 12 Equation 1
39
y = 2(3) + 3 Simplifying
y=6+3
y=9
Therefore, the length of the longer piece is 9 feet, and the shorter piece is 3 feet.
Step 4: Check
x + y = 12 y = 2x + 3
12 = 12 9=6+3
9=9
The substitution principle states that if two expressions are equal then either of the
two may replace the other without changing the equality.
Solving Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables by
Elimination
There is another algebraic method in solving systems of linear equations known as
the elimination method. This method is more convenient if each equation in the
system is written in standard form ax + by = c.
Problem 3:
Edgar bought 5 kilos of apples and 3 kilos of mangoes for Php 860.
5x + 3y = 860
40
Jelray bought 2 kilos of apples and 3 kilos of mangoes for P 560
2x + 3y = 560
Step 2: Solve the system by elimination.
5x + 3y = 860 Equation 1
2x + 3y = 560 Equation 2
Notice that the both equations have a common term which is 3y so it can be
eliminated easily by subtracting the two equations.
5x + 3y = 860
– (2x + 3y = 560)
3x = 300 Divide both sides by 3
x = 100
Now, solve for y by substituting 100 for x in any of the two Equations. In this
example let us substitute it in Equation 2, we have
2x + 3y = 560
y = 120
The solution to the system is x = 100, and y = 120 or (100,120).
Therefore, the price per kilo of apples is Php 100 and the price per kilo of mangoes
is Php 120.
Step 4: Check
5x + 3y = 860 2x + 3y = 560
