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 :
