Study Notes
Factoring Techniques
- Difference of squares can be expressed as (a - b)(a + b), exemplified by expressions like (x - 9)(x + 9).
- Common differences include:
- (x² - 1) = (x - 1)(x + 1)
- (x² - 16) = (x - 4)(x + 4)
- (x² - 9) = (x - 3)(x + 3)
- (x² - 49) = (x - 7)(x + 7)
- (x² - 81) = (x - 9)(x + 9)
Factoring Cubes
- Sum and difference of cubes are significant factoring techniques, represented as:
- a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
- a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
Practice Exercises
- Example expressions to factor:
- (x + 3)(x² - 3x + 9)
- (2y - 3)(4y² + 6y + 9)
- (1 + xy)(1 - xy + x²y²)
- Additional examples for skills solidification include:
- (2 + p)(2 - p)(16 + 4p² + p⁴)
- -2m²(m - 5)(m² + 5m + 25)
Exploring Factorizations
- Example of application:
- 3x² - 12y² can be factored to 3(x² - 4y²) = 3(x + 2y)(x - 2y).
- Multiple forms of polynomial expressions can reveal common factors or identities.
Polynomial Identities
- Fundamental polynomial identities include:
- (x + y)x² - (x + y)xy + (x + y)y² = x³ + y³
- (x - y)x² + (x - y)xy + (x - y)y² = x³ - y³

- Engage with the assessment to ensure understanding of factoring:
- Example assessment formats include multiple-choice questions.
- Performance indicators can be tracked through self-assessment activities.
