The first rule of factoring is to factor out the Greatest Common Factor
(GCF).
Factor the trinomial completely.
12
Stop! Check that you have factored the (GCF) correctly by distributing it
back through the remaining polynomial to obtain the original
trinomial.

To factor , we must find two integers whose product is -60 and whose sum is 7.
To factor , we must find two integers whose product is ac and whose sum is b.

What purpose does factoring serve?
Factoring is an algebraic process which allows us to solve quadratic equations pertaining to real-world applications, such as remodeling a
kitchen or building a skyscraper.
We will cover the concept of solving quadratic equations and then investigate some real-
world applications.
37
Solving Quadratic Equations
A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written in standard form
where a, b, and c represent real numbers, and
2 0ax bx c
0a
38
We will solve some quadratic equations
using factoring and the
Zero-Factor Property.
When the product of two real numbers is 0, at least one of them is 0.
If a and b represent real numbers, and
if then a=0 or b=00ab
