that are multiplied
together to produce
a product.

5-4 Multiplying Binomials
Mentally
When multiplying two
binomials both terms
of each binomial must
be multiplied by the
other two terms
Binomial
A
polynomial that has
two terms
2x + 3
3xy – 14
4x – 3y
613 + 39z
Trinomial
A
polynomial that has
three terms
2x2 – 3x + 1
14 + 32z – 3x
mn – m2 + n2
Multiplying binomials
 Using
the F.O.I.L method
helps you remember the
steps when multiplying
F.O.I.L. Method
F
– multiply First terms
 O – multiply Outer terms
 I – multiply Inner terms
 L – multiply Last terms
 Add all terms to get
product
Example:
(2a – b)(3a + 5b)
F
– 2a · 3a
 O – 2a · 5b
 I – (-b) ▪ 3a
 L - (-b) ▪ 5b

 6a + 10ab – 3ab – 5b
 6a2 + 7ab – 5b2
Example:
(x + 6)(x +4)
F
–x▪x
O – x ▪ 4
I – 6 ▪ x
L – 6 ▪ 4
 x2
+ 4x + 6x + 24
 x2 + 10x + 24

5 -10 Factor by Grouping
 Factor
each polynomial
by grouping terms that
have a common factor
 Then factor out the
common factor and write
the polynomial as a
product of two factors
Examples
xy – xz – 3y + 3z
 3xy – 4 – 6x + 2y
 xy + 3y + 2x + 6
 ab – 2b + ac – 2c
 9p2 – t2 – 4ts – 4s2

5 -11 Using Several Methods
of Factoring
A
polynomial is factored
completely when it is
expressed as the product
of a monomial and one or
more prime polynomials.
Guidelines for Factoring
Completely
 Factor
out the greatest
monomial factor first
 Factor the remaining
polynomial
Guidelines for Factoring
Completely
 Make
sure that each
binomial or trinomial
factor is prime.

Factoring
Zero-Product Property
For all real numbers a and b:
ab = 0
if and only if
a = 0 or b = 0

(x + 2) (x – 5) = 0

5 -13 Using Factoring to
Solve Word Problems
Suppose Mike bought 36
feet of wire to make a
rectangular pen for his pet.
If he wants the area to be
80 ft2, what are the
dimensions he could use?
Solution
Let x= Length, then Width =
(36 – 2x)/2 = 18 – x
2
80 = 18x – x
x2 – 18x + 80 = 0
(x – 10) (x-8) = 0
{8, 10}
