Factoring Trinomials I

Factoring Trinomials ITrinomials (three-term) are polynomials of the form ax2 + bx + c where a, b, and c are numbers.

Factoring Trinomials ITrinomials (three-term) are polynomials of the form ax2 + bx + c where a, b, and c are numbers. The product of two binomials is a trinomials:

(#x + #)(#x + #) ax2 + bx + c

(#x + #)(#x + #) ax2 + bx + cHence, to factor a trinomial, we write the trinomial as a product of two binomials, if possible,

(#x + #)(#x + #) ax2 + bx + cHence, to factor a trinomial, we write the trinomial as a product of two binomials, if possible, that is: ax2 + bx + c (#x + #)(#x + #)

We start with the case where a = 1, or trinomials of the form x2 + bx + c.

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v)

Trinomials (three-term) are polynomials of the form ax2 + bx + c where a, b, and c are numbers. The product of two binomials is a trinomials:

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + ux + vx + uv

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + ux + vx + uv = x2 + (u + v)x + uv

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + ux + vx + uv = x2 + (u + v)x + uv= x2 + bx + c,

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + ux + vx + uv = x2 + (u + v)x + uv= x2 + bx + c, we need to have u and v where uv = c,

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + ux + vx + uv = x2 + (u + v)x + uv= x2 + bx + c, we need to have u and v where uv = c, and u + v = b.

To factor x2 + bx + c, we note hatif (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + ux + vx + uv = x2 + (u + v)x + uv= x2 + bx + c, we need to have u and v where uv = c, and u + v = b. If this can’t be done, then the trinomial is prime (not factorable).

Factoring Trinomials IExample A. a. Factor x2 + 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + 5x + 6, so we need u and v where uv = 6 and u + v = 5. Since 6 = (1)(6) = (2)(3) = (-1)(-6) = (-2)(-3)

b. Factor x2 – 5x + 6

Example A. a. Factor x2 + 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + 5x + 6, so we need u and v where uv = 6 and u + v = 5. Since 6 = (1)(6) = (2)(3) = (-1)(-6) = (-2)(-3) and 2x + 3x = 5x,so x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)

b. Factor x2 – 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 – 5x + 6,

b. Factor x2 – 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 – 5x + 6, so we need u and v where uv = 6

b. Factor x2 – 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 – 5x + 6, so we need u and v where uv = 6 and u + v = –5. Since 6 = (1)(6) = (2)(3) = (-1)(-6) = (-2)(-3)

b. Factor x2 – 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 – 5x + 6, so we need u and v where uv = 6 and u + v = –5. Since 6 = (1)(6) = (2)(3) = (-1)(-6) = (-2)(-3) and –2 – 3 = –5,

b. Factor x2 – 5x + 6We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 – 5x + 6, so we need u and v where uv = 6 and u + v = –5. Since 6 = (1)(6) = (2)(3) = (-1)(-6) = (-2)(-3) and –2 – 3 = –5, so x2 – 5x + 6 = (x – 2)(x – 3).

c. Factor x2 + 5x – 6 We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + 5x – 6, so we need uv = –6 and u + v = 5. Since -6 = (–1)(6) = (1)(–6) = (–2)(3) =(2)(–3)

c. Factor x2 + 5x – 6 We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + 5x – 6, so we need uv = –6 and u + v = 5. Since -6 = (–1)(6) = (1)(–6) = (–2)(3) =(2)(–3) and –1 + 6 = 5,

c. Factor x2 + 5x – 6 We want (x + u)(x + v) = x2 + 5x – 6, so we need uv = –6 and u + v = 5. Since -6 = (–1)(6) = (1)(–6) = (–2)(3) =(2)(–3) and –1 + 6 = 5, so x2 + 5x – 6 = (x – 1)(x + 6).

a. Factor x2 + 4x – 12 We need u and v having opposite signs such that uv = –12, u + v = +4.

a. Factor x2 + 4x – 12 We need u and v having opposite signs such that uv = –12, u + v = +4. Since -12 = (-1)(12) = (-2)(6) = (-3)(4)…

a. Factor x2 + 4x – 12 We need u and v having opposite signs such that uv = –12, u + v = +4. Since -12 = (-1)(12) = (-2)(6) = (-3)(4)… They must be –2 and 6

a. Factor x2 + 4x – 12 We need u and v having opposite signs such that uv = –12, u + v = +4. Since -12 = (-1)(12) = (-2)(6) = (-3)(4)… They must be –2 and 6 hence x2 + 4x – 12 = (x – 2)(x + 6).

b. Factor x2 – 8x – 12

b. Factor x2 – 8x – 12 We need u and v such that uv = –12, u + v = –8 with u and v having opposite signs.
