Objective: To factor perfect – square trinomials and the differences of two squares.

95. Objectives I can factor a perfect-square trinomial.
I can factor to find a length.
I can factor a difference of two squares.
I can factor out a common factor.

96. Vocabulary
You can factor some trinomials by “reversing” the rules for multiplying special case binomials.
Any trinomial of the form 𝑎 2 +2𝑎𝑏+ 𝑏 2 𝑜𝑟 𝑎 2 −2𝑎𝑏+ 𝑏 2 is a perfect–square trinomial because it is the result of squaring a binomial.
Factoring Perfect – Square Trinomials:
Algebra: For every real number a and b:
𝑎 2 +2𝑎𝑏+ 𝑏 2 = 𝑎+𝑏 𝑎+𝑏 = (𝑎+𝑏) 2
𝑎 2 −2𝑎𝑏+ 𝑏 2 = 𝑎−𝑏 𝑎−𝑏 = (𝑎−𝑏) 2
Examples:
𝑥 2 +8𝑥+16= 𝑥+4 𝑥+4 = (𝑥+4) 2
4𝑛 2 −12𝑛+9= 2𝑛−3 2𝑛−3 = (2𝑛−3) 2

97. Vocabulary Here is how to recognize a perfect – square trinomial:
The first and the last terms are perfect squares.
The middle term is twice the product of one factor from the first term and one factor from the last term.

100. Factoring to Find a Length
Digital images are composed of thousands of tiny pixels rendered as squares. Suppose the area of a pixel is 4𝑥 2 +20𝑥+25. What is the length of one side of the pixel? You are building a square patio. The area of the patio is 16𝑚 2 −72𝑚+81. What is the length of one side of the patio?

101. Practice

102. Vocabulary Recall that a+b a−b = 𝑎 2 − 𝑏 2 .
So you can factor a difference of two squares, 𝑎 2 − 𝑏 2 , as (a + b)(a – b).
Factoring a Difference of Two Squares:
Algebra: For all real numbers a and b:
𝑎 2 − 𝑏 2 =(𝑎+𝑏)(𝑎−𝑏)
Examples:
𝑥 2 −64= 𝑥+8 𝑥−8
25𝑥 2 −36=(5𝑥+6)(5𝑥−6)

Factoring by Grouping
Objective: To factor higher – degree polynomials by grouping.

111. Vocabulary
Some polynomials of a degree greater than 2 can be factored.
You have factored trinomials of the form 𝑎𝑥 2 +𝑏𝑥+𝑐 by rewriting bx as a sum of two monomials.
You then grouped the terms in pairs, factored the GCF from each pair, and looked for a common binomial factor.
This process is called factoring by grouping.
You can extend this technique to higher – degree polynomials.

117. Vocabulary
You can sometimes factor to find possible expressions for length, width, and height of a rectangular prism.

118. Finding the Dimensions of a Rectangular Prism
A toy is made of several bars that can fold together to form a rectangular prism or unfold to form a “ladder”. What expressions can represent the dimensions of the toy when it is folded up? Use factoring. 𝑉= 6𝑥 𝑥 2 +15𝑥 A rectangular prism has a volume of 60𝑥 𝑥 2 +4𝑥. What expressions can represent the dimensions of the prism? Use factoring.

119. Practice
Find expressions for the possible dimensions of each rectangular prism.
A trunk in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 𝑥 𝑥 2 −28𝑥. What expressions can represent the dimensions of the trunk?
𝑉= 3𝑦 𝑦 2 +8𝑦
𝑉= 4𝑐 𝑐 𝑐

120. Factoring Polynomials
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF).
If the polynomial has two terms or three terms, look for a difference of two squares, a perfect-square trinomial, or a pair of binomial factors.
If the polynomial has four or more terms, group terms and factor to find common binomial factors.
As a final check, make sure there are no common factors other than 1.
