If you remember multiplication with real numbers, then you should remember the
following facts:
If 6 • 2 = 12, then we know• 12 is the product of 6 and 2• 6 and 2 are factors, or divisors, of 12.• the quotient of 12 divided by 6 is 2.• the quotient of 12 divided 2 is 6.So, to factor a number is to write it as the
product of two or more numbers, usually natural numbers. Factoring and division are closely related.

Review: a factor - is a number that is multiplied by another number to produce a product. A prime number - is any natural number greater than 1 whose only factors are
1 and itself. A composite number - is a number greater than 1 that has more than two
factors.The prime factorization - is the factorization of a natural
number that contains only prime numbers or powers of
prime numbers.

arranged to form a rectangle.

![Page 5: Factoring Polynomials Finding GCF. If you remember multiplication with real numbers, then you should remember the following facts: If 6 2 = 12, then we](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55178cf555034645368b5517/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
If you notice each rectangle has an area of 24, which includes (4 x 6, 3 x 8, 2 x 12, 1 x
24).Each of the numbers involved in these
multiplications is a factor of 24. There are no other natural number pairs that have a
product of 24, so 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 are the only factors of 24.
Here are two examples

Factoring a Monomial from a
Polynomial Factoring a polynomial reverses the
multiplication process. To factor a monomial
from a polynomial, first find the greatest
common factor (GCF) of its terms.
Find the GCF of the terms of: 4x3 + 12x2 – 8xList the prime factors of each
term.4x3 = 2 · 2 · x · x x12x2 = 2 · 2 · 3 · x · x 8x = 2 · 2 · 2 · x
The GCF is 2 · 2 · x or 4x.

Find the GCF of the terms of each polynomial.
a) 5v5 + 10v3
b) 3t2 – 18
c) 4b3 – 2b2 – 6b
d) 2x4 + 10x2 – 6x
![Page 14: Factoring Polynomials Finding GCF. If you remember multiplication with real numbers, then you should remember the following facts: If 6 2 = 12, then we](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55178cf555034645368b5517/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Use the GCF to factor each polynomial.
a) 8x2 – 12x
b) 5d3 + 10d
c) 6m3 – 12m2 – 24m
d) 4x3 – 8x2 + 12x
Try to factor mentally by scanning the coefficients of each term to find the GCF.
Next, scan for the least power of the variable.

To factor a polynomial completely, you must
factor until there are no common factors other than
1.

10x2 + 23x + 12To factor it, think of 23x as 8x + 15x.
8x + 15x = 23x10x2 + 23x + 12 = 10x2 + 8x + 15x + 12
Where did we get 8x and 15x?Notice that multiplying (a) 10 and (c) 12 gives you 120, which is the product of the x2-coefficient (10)
and the constant term (12).
8 and 15 are factors of 1201•120 2•60 3•40 4•30 5•24 6•20 8•15 10•12
also 8x + 15x = 23This example suggest that, to factor a trinomial, you should look for factors of the product ac that have a
sum of b.
Let’s see if it works.

![Page 32: Factoring Polynomials Finding GCF. If you remember multiplication with real numbers, then you should remember the following facts: If 6 2 = 12, then we](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/55178cf555034645368b5517/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Consider the trinomial 6x2 + 23x + 7. To factor it, think of 23x as 2x + 21x.
Where did we get 2 and 21?
If we multiply 6 and 7 we get 42, which is the product of the x2-coefficient (6) and the constant
(7).
2 and 21 are factor of 421•42 2•21 3•14 6•7
and2x + 21x = 23x
Yes it does work!So we must find the product of ac that have the
sum b.

Now we must rewrite the trinomial using the factors you found for b. (2 and 21)
6x2 + 2x + 21x + 7
Now we are going to find the GCF by grouping terms. (Remember the Associative Property)
(6x2 + 2x) + (21x + 7)

Now lets use the Distributive Property to write the two binomials.

The sums of positive and negative numbers
gives us our b.
Can we apply the same steps we have learned to
factor trinomials that contain negative numbers?
Yes. Your goal is still to find factors of ac that have sum b. Because ac < 0 (less than), the
factors must have different signs.
We need to use all combinations of factors.

1+(-15)=-14 (-1)+15=14 3+(-5)=-2 (-3)+5 =2

Some polynomials can be factored repeatedly. This means you can continue the process of
factoring until there are no common factors other than 1. If a trinomial has a common monomial
factor, factor it out before trying to find binomial factors.
Take for example:(6h + 2)(h + 5) and (3h + 1)(2h + 10)
Find each product.
6h2 + 32h + 10 and 6h+ 32h + 10
What do you notice about these two
polynomials?Can you factor a monomial before
factoring a binomial?

Remember the Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0. The value of the variable in a standard form equation is called the solution, or the
root, of the equation.
Let’s discuss the Multiplication Property of Zero which states that if a = 0 or b = 0, then
ab = 0. We can use the Zero-Product Property to solve quadratic equations once the quadratic expression has been factored into a
product of two linear factors.Let’s see how we can use this property to
solve quadratic expressions.

The standard form of a cubic equation in x is any equation that can be written in the form
ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0, where a ≠ 0.Using an extension of the Zero-Product Property,
you can solve many cubic equations.If a, b, and c represent real numbers and abc =
0,[(5)(4)(0) = 0]
then a = 0, b = 0 or c = 0.For example,
if x(x – 2)(3x + 4) = 0, you can write the following.
x = 0 or x – 2 = 0 or 3x + 4 = 0
Solving each for x, then x = 0, 2, and -4/3
