Factor a difference of squares (d) x 2 8 (e) p 2 + 16 It is a prime polynomial because 8 is not the square of an integer. It is a prime polynomial since it is a sum of squares.

12
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 6.5 – Slide 12 6.5 Special Factoring Techniques Example 4 Factor x 2 + 10x + 25. Factor a perfect square trinomial. The term x 2 is a perfect square, and so is 25. Try factoring as (x + 5) 2. To check, take twice the product of the two terms in the squared binomial. Since 10x is the middle term of the trinomial, the trinomial is a perfect square and can be factored as (x + 5) 2.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 6.5 – Slide 13 6.5 Special Factoring Techniques Example 5 Factor each trinomial. Factor a perfect square trinomial. (a) x 2 – 22x + 121 The first and last terms are perfect squares. Check to see if the middle term is twice the product of the first and last terms of the binomial x – 11.
14
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 6.5 – Slide 14 6.5 Special Factoring Techniques Example 5 Factor each trinomial. Factor a perfect square trinomial.
15
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 6.5 – Slide 15 6.5 Special Factoring Techniques Example 5 Factor each trinomial. Factor a perfect square trinomial. Twice the product of the first and last terms is 2(5y)4 = 40y, which is not the middle term. The trinomial is not a perfect square. It is a prime polynomial.
