    This document provides a lesson on factoring trinomials where the leading coefficient is not 1. It begins with a warm up on factoring trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1. It then asks what should be done if the leading coefficient is not 1 and there is no common factor. It introduces the strategy of decomposition, which is breaking down the middle term before factoring. Examples are provided to demonstrate fully factoring trinomials where the leading coefficient is not 1 using this decomposition strategy. Students are then given practice problems to try on their own.

    Learning Target: I can factor trinomials in the form 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐

    Warm Up: Fully factor and check your answers.

    𝑥 + 22𝑥 + 120 𝑥 − 2𝑥 − 63 6𝑥 − 108𝑥 + 486

    We have been factoring trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1 for the last few days. Today, we
    will answer the following:
    What should we do if 𝑎 ≠ 1 and we can't find a common factor?
    Let's expand a pair of binomials to look for differences from our product-sum approach.

    (3𝑥 + 4)(2𝑥 + 3) Notice that our 𝑎 = 6 is giving us issues. Will the factored
    form look like…
    (6𝑥 + ___)(1𝑥 + ___)?
    (3𝑥 + ___)(2𝑥 + ___)?
    Something else?

    We want to approach problems like this with a new strategy: decomposition


    The basic idea here is to break down (decompose) our b term before factoring.

    Factor 6𝑥 + 17𝑥 + 12

    Example 1: Factor fully.

    4𝑥 + 20𝑥 + 9 6𝑥 − 11𝑥 − 35

    Your Turn 1: Factor fully.

    10𝑥 + 9𝑥 + 2 3𝑥 + 2𝑥 − 5

    15𝑥 − 38𝑥 + 7 28𝑥 − 17𝑥 − 3
