Ok Very good.

2. x2-7x-18

How about the factor of this.

Very good.

3. x2+x-6

What is the factor of this trinomial?

Very good.

Did you understand the given examples class? (Student A will

answer) Ma’am the
factor is (x-6)(x+2)

So we have here the steps on Factoring trinomials of the form

x2+bx+c, where a=1

1. Find two factors of c whose sum equals the coefficient b

2. Using the form (x+__ ) (x+__), Fill this in with the two factors (Student B will
found in step 1. answer) Ma’am the
factor is (x-9)(x+2)

In order to understand these steps, I will be presenting you some

examples.

Example 1. Factor the following trinomials.

(Student C will
 a. x2-3x-18 answer) Ma’am the
b. x2+5x-6 factor is (x-6)(x+1)

So we have here the solution in letter a example.

a. x2-3x-18

In this equation we have here the value of a=1 , b=-3 , and c=-18 Yes ma’am.

First step is we need to get the two factors of c.

Since c=-18 , the factors of -18 are,

-18 and 1

18 and -1

-6 and 3

6 and -3

-9 and 2

9 and -2

So which of these Factors that the sum is -3, Since the value of our b is
-3?

Ok , Very good.

So now we have the -6 and 3. Now the factor of the given trinomial is
(x+3) (x-6).

Do you understand class?

(Students listen
during the
discussion)

So let’s move on to the second example.

b. x2+5x-6

In this equation we have here the value of a=1 , b=5 , and c=-6

First step is we need to get the two factors of c.

Since c=-6 , the factors of -6 are,

6 and -1

-6 and 1

3 and -2

-3 and 2

So the factors that give the sum of b=5 are 6 and -1.

Therefore the factor of the given example is (x+1) (x-6).

Class Is there any questions?

Yes ma’am.

So the examples that are given is the case wherein a=1.

Do you want more examples class?

Let’s move on to the case where a≠ 1

We have here the steps in factoring the quadratic trinomials where a

≠1

D. Factor out any common monomial factor

E. List all factors of a and c
F. Try and check combinations of the factors of a and c until the
correct middle term (bx) is obtained.

I have here some examples.

1. 8x2-14x+3

We have to get the factor of the value of a and c and list them all

8=± 8 , ± 4 , ±2 , ±1

3=± 3 ,± 1

Next we have to try and check combinations of the factors of a and c

until the correct middle term (bx) is obtained. None ma’am.

(4x+1) 12x 2x 14x

(2x+3)

(4x-1)(2x-3) -12x -2x -14x

In the possible factors that give the middle term -14x are (4x-1)(2x-3).

Therefore the factor of the given quadratic trinomial 8x 2-14x+3 is

equals to (4x-1)(2x-3).

Do you understand the first example class?

Let’s go to the next example.

2. 4x2-6x-10

In this given example there is this common factor which is 2.

4x2-6x-10=2(2x2-3x-5)

In 2x2-3x-5 , we have the value of a=2 and c=-5

Since 2 do not have any factor other than 1 and 2, The factors of these
trinomial will have (2x+_)(x+_).

Now let’s just get the factors of c

 Trial Factors of c Factors of Middle Term

1 1,-5 (2x+1)(x-5) -9x

2 -1,5 (2x-1)(x+5) 9x

3 5,-1 (2x+5)(x-1) 3x

4 -5,1 (2x+-5)(x+1) -3x

Since the factor of 2x2-3x-5=(2x+-5)(x+1)

We have now the complete factor of 4x2-6x-10=2(2x+-5)(x+1)

Do you understand class?

Yes ma’am.

Do you want more examples?

G. APPLICATION
Since you do not have any question and you said that you
understand our lesson. I will give a word problem and will
let the students answer by pair for 10 minutes. Then, the
teacher will ask for a volunteer for board work.

Leg Traction
To help align Adon’s broken bone, a doctor uses traction
as shown in the figure. Traction is applied by fixing a
weight, two pulleys and some stainless steel cable to a
broken leg. Based on the setup shown, how many meters
cable are used?
Are you done class?

Exchange paper with your seatmates and let’s solve it on the board.

H. GENERALIZATION Yes ma’am.

Class before we end the discussion, can you tell me what is a
Quadratic trinomial?
No ma’am.
