Square of Sums Difference of Sums Product of a Sum and a Difference If we learn to recognize these squares and products we can use them to help us factor. Perfect Square Trinomials The Square of a Sum and the Square of a difference have products that are called Perfect Square Trinomials. How to Recognize a Perfect Square Trinomial: Recall: Observe the trinomial The first term is a perfect square. The second term is 2 times square root of the first term times the square root of the third. The sign is plus/minus. The third term is a perfect square. Examples of Perfect Square Trinomials Is the trinomial a perfect square? Drag the Perfect Square Trinomials i the Box. Only Perfect Square Trinomials will remain visible. Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials. Once a Perfect Square Trinomial has been identified, it factors following the form: (sq rt of the first term sign of the middle term sq rt of the third term)2 Examples: 45 Factor A B C D Not a perfect Square Trinomial 46 Factor A B C D Not a perfect Square Trinomial 47 Factor A B C D Not a perfect Square Trinomial Difference of Squares The Product of a Sum and a Difference is a difference of Squares. A Difference of Squares is recognizable by seeing each term in the binomial are perfect squares and the operation is subtraction. Examples of Difference of Squares Is the binomial a difference of squares? Drag the Difference of Squares binomials into the Box. Only Difference of Squares will remain visible. Factoring a Difference of Squares Once a binomial is determined to be a Difference of Squares, it factors following the pattern: (sq rt of 1st term - sq rt of 2nd term)(sq rt of 1st term + sq rt of 2nd term) Examples: 48 Factor A B C D Not a Difference of Squares 49 Factor A B C D Not a Difference of Squares 50 Factor A B C D Not a Difference of Squares 51 Factor using Difference of Squares: A B C D Not a Difference of Squares 52 Factor A B C D Factoring Trinomials: ax2 + bx + c Return to Table of Contents How to factor a trinomial of the form ax² + bx + c.

This is known as the Zero Product Property. Given the following equation, what conclusion(s) can be drawn? (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0 Since the product is 0, one of the factors must be 0. Therefore, either x - 4 = 0 or x + 3 = 0. x - 4 = 0 +4 or x + 3 = 0 -3 +4 x = 4 or -3 x = -3 Therefore, our solution set is {-3, 4}. To verify the results, substitute each solution back into the original equation. To check x = -3: (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0 (-3 - 4)(-3 + 3) = 0 (-7)(0) = 0 0=0 To check x = 4: (x - 4)(x + 3) = 0 (4 - 4)(4 + 3) = 0 (0)(7) = 0 0=0 What if you were given the following equation? How would you solve it? We can use the Zero Product Property to solve it. How can we turn this polynomial into a multiplication problem? Factor it! Factoring yields: (x - 6)(x + 4) = 0 By the Zero Product Property: x-6=0 or x+4=0 After solving each equation, we arrive at our solution: {-4, 6} Solve Zero Product rule works only when the product of factors equals zero. If the equation equals some value other than zero subtract to make one side of the equation zero. Example A science class launches a toy rocket. The teacher tells the class that the height of the rocket at any given time is h = -16t2 + 320t. When will the rocket hit the ground? When the rocket hits the ground, its height is 0. So h=0 which can be substituted into the equation: The rocket had to hit the ground some time after launching. The rocket hits the ground in 20 seconds. The 0 is an extraneous (extra) answer. 65 Choose all of the solutions to: A B C D E F 66 Choose all of the solutions to: A B C D E F 67 Choose all of the solutions to: A B C D E F 68 A ball is thrown with its height at any time given by When does the ball hit the ground?
