Multiple Choice
Review: What is the general trinomial equation?
y=x2−x+a
y=ax2−bx+c
y=ax2+bx+c
y=x2+x+a
3
Multiple Choice
Review: What is the definition of a factor?
numbers/equations that can be multiplied together to get a product
the answer of two or more numbers/equations being multiplied together
4
Multiple Select
Check off all the factors of the equation:
(x+1)(x+2)=x2+3x+2(x+1)
(x+2)
x2+3x+2
none of the above
5
Our Purpose for Factoring
finding the x-intercepts (roots or zeros)
6
Zero Product Property
If a x b=0, then a=0, b=0, or a=b=0
This is the property that makes factoring possible.
7
Factoring using the X Method
The top sections is for the product of a and c. The bottom section is for b. The two side sections are for two numbers that add to "b" but multiply to "a x c".
