2. 9. Special cases: Simple case, when

3. Warning: is Prime Warning: is Prime 9. Special Binomial Products

4. 10. Practice Factor each. If it does not factor, state that it is PRIME. 1. 2. 3. 4. Study Tip: No middle term = special product!

5. Factoring Polynomials Summary 1. Factor out GCF 2. Binomial? is it “special” ? 3. Trinomial? Use factoring algorithm 4. 4 terms? Use grouping 1. Factor out GCF 2. Binomial? is it “special” ? 3. Trinomial? Use factoring algorithm 4. 4 terms? Use grouping

6. 11. Polynomial with 4 terms Use Grouping (double bubble) 1) 2)

7. Example: Factor the expression: 1) 2) Where t is algebraic expression is called quadratic in form. 12. An expression Quadratic in Form

8. 1. 13. Finding the GCF of an expression 2.
