Lesson 3 SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION BY FACTORING

This document provides information on solving quadratic equations by factoring. It defines factors and discusses different factoring techniques such as finding the greatest common factor (GCF), factoring the difference of two squares, factoring perfect square trinomials, and factoring trinomials of the form ax2 + bx + c. Examples are provided for each technique. The steps for solving a quadratic equation by factoring are outlined as: 1) transform the equation into standard form, 2) factor the quadratic expression, 3) set each factor equal to zero using the zero product property, 4) solve the resulting equations, and 5) check the solutions in the original equation. Practice problems are provided to solve quadratic equations by factoring.

FACTOR

• Factors are numbers we can multiply together


to get another number.
A number that can
Composite be written as the
2 x 3 = 6 Number product of two
positive integers
Factor Factor other than 1 and
the number itself.

A number can have MANY factors!


FACTOR

• In algebra, factors are what we can multiply


together to get an expression.

FACTORING
It is a process by which the factors of a
composite number or expression are
determined, and the number or expression is
written as a product of these factors.
FINDING A
GREATEST COMMON FACTOR (GCF)
• Greatest Common Factor is the highest
number that both sets of factors have in
common.
Examples:
15 (1, 3, 5, 15)
30 (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30)
FINDING A
GREATEST COMMON FACTOR (GCF)
• Greatest Common Factor is the highest
number that both sets of factors have in
common.
Examples:
15 1, 3 , 5 , 15,
30 1, 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 10, 15, 30
FINDING A
GREATEST COMMON FACTOR (GCF)
• Greatest Common Factor is the highest
number that both sets of factors have in
common.
Examples:
15 1, 3 , 5 , 15,
30 1, 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 10, 15, 30
FINDING THE
GCF FROM AN EXPRESSION
• Get GCF of the numerical coefficients
• For the literal coefficient , , and , use the least
exponent that appears on .

Examples:

FACTORING THE DIFFERENCE
OF TWO SQUARES
The difference of the squares of two numbers is equal to the
product of the sum and difference of two numbers.

Examples:
1.
𝟐 . 𝒙𝟒− 𝟒

Steps in solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

1. Transform the quadratic equation into standard form if


necessary.
2. Factor the quadratic expression.
3. Apply the zero product property by setting each factor of
the quadratic expression equal to zero.
4. Solve each resulting equation
5. Check the values of the variables obtained by substituting
each in the original equation.
