CONCEPTS
In factoring general trinomials, we are going to identify the factors of the first and
last term so that when we add them, the answer is the same with the middle term.
In this Learning Activity Sheet, you will be illustrated using where .

ILLUSTRATION To illustrate, let's factor .

step 1 step 2 step 3


Factor the first term. List down the factors of the last Use the factors of the last term
term then choose the factors to complete the factors of the
that sum up to the middle
term. general trinomial.

Factors of 10:

Since the first term‘s coefficient Sum of the factors of 10:


is 1, the factors are only
and .

The factors of are and .


We write the factors as .

EXERCISES
Now try to factor the following polynomials. Write your solutions then box your final
answer.
