Warm Up Multiply: Objective The student will be able to factor by distribution, grouping and factor trinomials. Think, Pair, Share… I have the polynomial: 9x2 + 36x and I would like to know what two polynomials were multiplied together to create this binomial, could I figure this out? If so, how if not why not? Factoring by the Distributive Property Factor: 1st find the GCF. 2nd write each term as a product of the GCF. 3rd use the distributive property to factor out the GCF. Factoring by Grouping Factor: 1st group terms with common factors. 2nd factor the GCF from each grouping. 3rd distributive property. Factoring using the Additive Inverse Factor: 1st group terms with common factors 2nd factor the GCF from each grouping 3rd simplify 4th distributive property Zero Product Property If the product of two factors is 0, then at least one of the factors must be 0. ab = 0 then, either a = 0 or b =0. Solve an Equation in Factored Form Solve: 1st set each equation to zero. 2nd solve. Solve an Equation by Factoring Solve: Try with a Partner: Factor: Try on your Own: Solve: Factoring Trinomials See Handout. With a Partner… Factor: On Your Own… Solve: Exit Ticket and Homework Exit Ticket Solve: Homework: Worksheet
