1 Factoring Perfect Square
Goal Recognize perfect square Goal Factor perfect square using patterns.

2 Recall what happens when you multiply the following:
(x + 4)(x + 4) (x – 3)2 The results are called ____________________________.

3 Factoring a Perfect Square Trinomial
                        OR                         It has to be exactly in this form to use this rule.  When you have a base being squared plus or minus twice the product of the two bases plus another base squared, it factors as the sum (or difference) of the bases being squared. 

4 Factor the perfect square trinomial:
Example 1 Factor the perfect square trinomial: If you can recognize that it fits the form of a  perfect square trinomial, you can save yourself some time. *Fits the form of a perfect square trinomial *Factor as the sum of bases squared                       

5 a b Does the middle term fit the pattern, 2ab? Yes, the factors are (a + b)2 :

6 a b Does the middle term fit the pattern, 2ab? Yes, the factors are (a - b)2 :

7 Example 2 Factor the following trinomials: x2 + 5x + 12 x2 + 6x + 9

8 Example 3 Factor the following trinomials: x2 + 8x + 16 4x2 + 12x + 9

9 Example 4 Factor the trinomial:
