Factoring #5

For this factoring special polynomials, students find the product of given polynomials. They factor polynomials and determine the difference of two squares. This one-page worksheet contains 40 multi-step problems.

For this factoring worksheet, learners find the common term, use special products or use the diamond method to factor polynomials. Explanations and examples are provided. This three-page worksheet contains 45 problems. Answers are...

Young mathematicians examine the "Tic-tac-toe" factoring method to factor polynomials. They use algebra tiles to model solutions of binomial multiplication problems. They discuss strategies and observe teacher-made models for solving...

Use division and factoring to determine the leading 1 coefficient. This presentation thoroughly explains how to factor a trinomial in order to determine its common factors.

The word FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last. Use a provided template to factor a binomial then use the FOIL method to check your answer. Factoring and multiplying binomials never looked so easy.

You can factor polynomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. If a is positive, then ax^2+bx+c=(x+m)(ax+n) where c = m*n, a*c = p*q and b = p+q = a*m + n

This resource is about factorizing trinomials of the form x^2+bx+c by making them into a product of two binomials x^2+bx+c=(x+m)(x+n) where m+n=b and m*n=c

Use the guess and check method to factor a trinomial. Find the factors of the coefficients, then plug some in and check if they work. If it doesn't work then plug in some different factors or rearrange the factors and check again. You...

The rational expression in this example is of a trinomial divided by a trinomial. Learn how to simplify this rational expression. The instructor demonstrates how to factor each trinomial and cancel the like terms to get it in simplest form.

The instructor defines a prime polynomial as much the same as a prime number: they only have two factors, 1 and itself. She further demonstrates what a composite polynomial is to give an example of a polynomial that is not prime.
