6. Solve this equation for n: What does n equal?
Lesson Warm-Up #1
Solve this equation for n:
What does n equal? -1 2

7. You Are Right!!

8. Try Again!! Study this Example:
First, you should subtract 6 from both sides.
Now, what should the next step be?
What does n equal? -1 2

9. Try Again!! First, you should subtract 6 from both sides.
Now you need to divide both sides by 4.
What does n equal? -1 2

10. Try Again!! First, you should subtract 6 from both sides
Then, divide both sides by 4
What does n equal? -1 2

11. Solve for a: What does a equal?
Lesson Warm-Up #2
Solve for a:
What does a equal?
104
-40

12. You Are Right!!!
Solve for a:

13. Try Again!! Study this Example:
NOW: Solve for a:
Step 1: Add 9 on both sides
So,
Think: What is the 2nd Step you need to do to solve for a?
What does a equal?
104
-40

14. Try Again! Solve for a: What does a equal? 104 -40
Step 1: Add 9 on both sides
Step 2: Multiply 8 to both sides
What does a equal?
104
-40

15. Factor the expression completely: What is the Complete Factored form?
Lesson Warm-Up #3
Factor the expression completely:
What is the Complete Factored form?

16. Factor the expression:
You Are Right!!!
Factor the expression:

17. Try Again!!! Factor the expression completely:
Step 1: Factor out the GCF.
In this case, GCF = 2.
Step 2: You need to factor
Note: Factoring Difference of Perfect Squares:
What is the Complete Factored form?

18. Try Again!!! Factor the expression completely:
Step 1: Factor out the GCF.
In this case, GCF = 2.
Step 2: Factor
So now, what is the Complete Factored form?

19. Factor the expression: Is it: OR
Lesson Warm-Up #4
Factor the expression:
Is it: OR

20. You Are Right!!! Factor the expression:
This expression cannot be factored. Therefore, it is

21. Back to Lesson Warm-Up #4
Try Again!!!
Notes:
Steps to Factor Polynomials:
I Un-DISTRIBUTE GCF
II Un-FOIL a2 - b2
III Un-FOIL ax2 + bx + c
IV Polynomials that cannot be factored are PRIME
Hint: Is it possible to factor the given expression? Does it follow any of the factoring rules listed above?
Back to Lesson Warm-Up #4

22. Lesson Warm-Up #5 Factor the expression completely:
What is the expression in factored form?

23. Factor the expression completely: Expression in Factored Form:
You Are Right!!!
Factor the expression completely:
Expression in Factored Form:

24. Try Again!! Study the Notes Below: Steps to Factor Polynomials:
I Un-DISTRIBUTE GCF
II Un-FOIL a2 - b2
III Un-FOIL ax2 + bx + c
IV Polynomials that cannot be factored are PRIME
Factor completely:

25. Try Again!! Factor the expression completely: Step 1: (2c+___)(c+___)
You need to think of factors of 14 that will work.
Possibilities: 1 and 14; 2 and 7
Remember to check for the middle term when you FOIL.
What is the expression in factored form?

26. Lesson Warm-Up #6 Factor the expression completely:
What is the expression in factored form?

27. Factor the expression:
You Are Right!!!
Factor the expression:

28. Try Again!!! Study the Notes Below: Steps to Factor Polynomials:
I Un-DISTRIBUTE GCF
II Un-FOIL a2 - b2
III Un-FOIL ax2 + bx + c
IV Polynomials that cannot be factored are PRIME
Factor completely:

29. Try Again!!! Factor the expression completely: Step 1: (3p+___)(p+___)
Think: What Factors of 20 will give you the correct middle term?
What is the expression in factored form?

31. Zero-Product Property
For every real number a and b, if ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0.
Example: If , then
x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

32. Checking Your Understanding #1:
If x = 0, then
You have 5 seconds to think before the answer appears…

33. Checking Your Understanding #2:
If y = 0, then
You have 5 seconds to think before the answer appears…

34. What should you do on the “Example” pages:
Study the Example Question carefully and think about how you may want to solve it
The worked out solution(s) and the final answer of the example will appear after a few seconds
Study every step of the solution and the answer carefully so you will be able to solve similar problems later on
When you are ready to continue, navigate to the next slide.

35. What should you do on the “You Try” pages:
Study the “You Try” Question carefully and think about how you may want to solve it
Solve the problem on the paper that you have with you
The worked out solution(s) and the final answer of the problem will appear after seconds
Check your work (step-by-step) with the worked out solution and final answer
If you made mistakes in solving the problem on your paper, you should correct them

54. So, Width of material = x + 3 + 3 = x + 6
Example 4: The diagram below shows a pattern of an open-top box. The total area of the sheet is 288 inches square. The height of the box is 3 in. Therefore, 3-in. by 3-in. squares are cut from each corner. Find the dimensions of the box.
Let x = width of a side of the box
So, Width of material = x
= x + 6
Length of material = x
Length = x + 8

55. Length x Width = Area of Sheet
Example 4 continued: The diagram below shows a pattern of an open-top box. The total area of the sheet is 288 inches square. The height of the box is 3 in. Therefore, 3-in. by 3-in. squares are cut from each corner. Find the dimensions of the box.
Length x Width = Area of Sheet

56. Length x Width = Area of Sheet
You try: Suppose that a box has a base with a width of x, a length of x + 3, and a height of 1 inch. It is cut from a rectangular sheet of material with an area of 130 inches square. Find the dimensions of the box.
Length x Width = Area of Sheet

57. NOTES: What is the connection between solving quadratic equations by graphing and by factoring?

58. Check Your Understanding #1:
