Study Notes

Factoring Techniques

  • Methods of Factoring: Utilize various methods including GCF (Greatest Common Factor), Magic X, Grouping, and Difference of Squares.

Examples of Factoring

  • Factor expressions completely for practice, ensuring to explore different methods for each.

Sample Expressions

  • Expression Factors:
    • 1) Factored: ( b(-a + 2b - 2) )
    • 2) Factored: ( 3x^4(5x^2 + y - 1) )
    • 3) Quadratic Factors: ( (v + 3)(v - 9) )
    • 4) Quadratic Factors: ( (n - 3)(n - 6) )
    • 5) Factored as ( (7x + 2)^2 )
    • 6) Difference of Squares: ( (1 + k)(1 - k) )
    • 7) Perfect Square Difference: ( 9(3m + 2)(3m - 2) )
    • 8) Grouping gives ( (x^2 - 8)(8x - 7) )

Additional Factored Forms

  • 9) Factored: ( (3x^2 - 5)(7x + 1) )
  • 10) Factored: ( -8m(8mn + 7) )
  • 11) Factored out ( 10u ) resulting in ( 10u(uv^2 - 5) )
  • 12) Factored as: ( (4b - 1)^2 )
  • 13) Quadratic Factors: ( (2n - 3)^2 )
  • 14) Quadratic Factors: ( (5n + 2)^2 )
  • 15) Factored: ( (7n + 8)(n + 6) )
  • 16) Quadratic Factors: ( (7x - 2)(x - 10) )

Focus Areas for Study

  • Understand how to identify the appropriate factoring technique based on the structure of the expression.
  • Practice factoring using different methods to increase versatility in solving algebraic expressions.
  • Review perfect squares and common factor extraction, ensuring clarity on each method's applicability.
