Study Notes
Factoring Polynomials
- Difference of Squares: (9x^2 - 64) can be factored as ((3x - 8)(3x + 8)).
- Grouping Method: For (x^3 - 7x^2 - 5x + 35), factored as ((x^2 - 5)(x - 7)).
- Factoring with Coefficients: (-7x^3 + 21x^2 + 3x - 9) gives factors ((-x + 3)(7x^2 - 3)).
- Common Factor: GCF of (2x^3 + 4x) and (-5x^2 - 10) results in common binomial factor (x^2 + 2) or (2x - 5).
Identifying Terms and Squares
- Perfect Squares: Monomials like (9x^8), (25x^{12}), and (36x^{16}) are perfect squares.
- Square Roots: The square root of (m^6) is (m^3) and for (64y^{16}), it is (8y^8).
Products of Binomials
- Product Calculation: For ((-3s + 2t)(4s - t)), the product is (-12s^2 + 11sr - 2t^2).
- Use of Algebra Tiles: Adi correctly represented the product of ((-2x - 1)(2x - 1)) using algebra tiles.
Additional Factorizations and Products
- Finding Factors: To factor (4x^3 + x^2 - 8x - 2), one way is ((x^2 - 2)(4x + 1)).
- Grouped Products: (5x^2() - 2()) requires the missing common factor of (2x + 7).
Application of Grouping
- Factoring from Polynomial: The polynomial (10x^3 + 35x^2 - 4x - 14) simplifies to ((2x + 7)(5x^2 - 2)).
- Completing the Difference of Squares: ((-5x - 3)(-5x + ____)) is completed with 7.
Other Products
- Calculating Products: From ((2x - 1)(x + 4)), the expanded form is (2x^2 + 7x - 4).
- Binomial Products: Equivalent ways to analyze binomial products and their factors reveal patterns and relationships among coefficients.
Common Roots
- Root Findings: Square roots of (r^{64}) yield (r^{32}) and (r^8) as potential responses.
- Identifying Like Terms: Columns representing binomial multiplications provide clues for like terms.
Summary
- Factoring Techniques: Familiarity with trinomial and binomial products enhances polynomial manipulation skills through techniques like grouping and identifying factors.
- Perfect Squares: Understanding bases and exponents allows students to quickly identify perfect squares and square roots, which is critical for advanced algebra concepts.
