FACTORING
(Factoring General Trinomials)
 OBJECTIVES

By the end of this lesson, I will be able to:

Factor trinomials of the form x² + Bx + C
Factor trinomials of the form Ax² + Bx + C
 FACTOR TRINOMIALS OF THE FORM X² + BX + C

Example: x² + 6x + 5 Write the possibilities and

check the middle term using
x² + 6x + 5 the FOIL Method.
Terms Factors

x² x x (x + 1) ( x + 5)
5 1 5
Possible Factors Middle Term x
(x + 1) ( x + 5) 6x 5x
Let’s Practice : Answer a, b and c 6x
 FACTOR TRINOMIALS OF THE FORM AX² + BX + C

Example: 20x² - 11x - 3 20x² - 11x - 3

Terms Factors

Write the possibilities and

check the middle term using 20x²
the FOIL Method.

Let’s Practice : Answer a and b on
