    Study Notes

    Factoring Types and Techniques

    • Difference of Squares: Expresses as (a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)). Example: (x^2 - 4) factors to ((x - 2)(x + 2)).
    • Trinomial Factoring: Directly factor polynomials of the form (x^2 + bx + c). Example: (x^2 + 12x + 35) factors to ((x + 7)(x + 5)).
    • Grouping Method: Used for polynomials with four terms, grouping pairs for factoring. Example: (6a^3 - 3a^2 + 8a - 4) factors to ((2a - 1)(3a^2 + 4)).

    Solving Polynomials

    • Factoring Trinomials: Combine two numbers that multiply to (c) and add to (b). Example: For (x^2 + 2x - 8), factors into ((x + 4)(x - 2)).
    • Polynomials with Multiple Methods: Different methods may suit various expressions. Example: (4x^2 - 25) can be solved using the difference of squares to give ((2x - 5)(2x + 5)).

    Number Properties

    • Numbers that multiply to give a negative product and add up to a positive can include one positive and one negative. Example: The numbers for -30 that add to 13 are 15 and -2.

    Factorability

    • Some polynomials cannot be factored using integers. Example: (x^2 + 23x + 11) is not factorable with rational coefficients.
    • Completely factorable forms include products of simpler binomials or trinomial expressions. Example: (x^2 + 16x - 105) factors into ((x + 21)(x - 5)).

    Polynomial Simplification

    • Simplicity is key for polynomial expressions. Example: Adding ((3x + 7)) twice and ((2x - 3)) twice simplifies to (10x + 8).
    • When finding areas of geometric shapes, expand product forms. Example: The area of a rectangle with sides ((2x - 3)) and ((3x + 7)) simplifies to (6x^2 + 5x - 21).
