Topic 7 Polynomials and Factoring
Lesson Outline
7-6 Factoring ax2 + bx + c – We learned how to factor a trinomial algebraic expression in the form ax2 + bx + c when the coefficient a is not equal to one.
We discovered that factoring out a GCF before finding the factor pairs made the numbers smaller and easier to work with.
7-7 Factoring Special Cases – We learned that when a trinomial has the pattern a2 + 2ab + b2, then it can be factored as (a + b)2 or (a - b)2 if a2 - 2ab + b2. If a binomial has a pattern a2 - b2, then it can be factored as (a + b)(a - b) where the middle term equals 0.
Assignment: Complete the assigned problems for homework.
