Notes on Factoring: Butterfly Method
Factors are
numbers or
expressions
that are
multiplied to
get another
number or
expression.
We are trying
to find what
binomial
factors
multiply to
equal the
polynomial.
This method will work when
factoring x 2  bx  c or
ax 2  bx  c
a ∙c x2

ax
factor1 x

x
 7 x  10
1) Factor
a = 1, b = -7 and c = 10
The factors are the simplified
terms

2) Factor x 2  4 x  12
a = 1, b = 4, c = -12
The factors are
3) Factor
4 x 2  4 x  15
a = 4, b = -4 and c = -15
The factors are the simplified
terms

Notes on Mult Polynomials : Distributive Prop.
Multiplying (x + 3)(x2 +2x+ 4)
Have to distribute:
x(x2 +2x+ 4) + 3(x2 +2x+ 4)
= x  2 x  4 x  3x  6x  8
