Name__________________________________________________ Algebra: Factoring Find the product of (x+5) and (x+1). ______________________________ simplify _____________________________ Now, how do we go from ___________________ back to (x+5)(x+1) ? Look at (x + 5) (x + 1), see if you can come up with a hypothesis as to where 5 and 1 fit into the expression above. 𝑦= 𝑥 2 + 6x + 5 ____ = ( ) ( ) Let’s find the roots of the parabola. Graph 𝑦= 𝑥 2 + 6x + 5 and state the roots. Now we will find the roots algebraically. We learned above that 𝑥 2 + 6x + 5 factors to (x+1) and (x+5). What does y equal at the roots? ______ T IT UP!!! (x+1) (x+5)
