How do you feel right now? Go to Page 6 if…. I didn’t really get what was going on yesterday– gotta tune up a little! Go to Page 8 if…. I want to see another guided example worked out from today’s lesson Go to Page 11 if…. I really get it – I want to try some right away!

Focus on Factoring by grouping 1) Go back in your notes and find the examples. 2) Try each step for factoring the polynomial below and check before you move on to the next! Step 1: Group the terms Step 2: Factor the GCF from each group (REMEMBER: YOU SHOULD SEE A REPEATED FACTOR!!) Note: The GCF here is 1 Step 3: There should be a set of matching factors! Factor them from the GCFs Step 4: Check by multiplying!!

Focus on Super Magic X: Fill in the numbers for Super Magic X for each of the polynomials List out numbers that multiply to -64. Which ones add to -63? b) List out numbers that multiply to -72. Which ones add to -21?

Take notes with the following! Factoring Trinomials Take notes with the following! Example 1: Factor Step 1: Fill in your SUPER magic X. Multiply a and c to get the bottom number, and use b as your top number. + 11 16 -5 Step 2: Split the middle term based on your super magic X numbers -80 * Make sense? Click here! Step 3: Factor by grouping Step 4: Check by multiplying! Need more help with doing the Magic X? Go to page 9 Need help with factoring by grouping? Go to page 10

Solution d) Back to problem Set 1

Problem Set 2: One Step Further Problem Set 2: One Step Further! Try to factor the following polynomials with the same method! Hint!

Hints for Problem Set 2: When you split the middle term, you must always split it into LIKE TERMS! Examples: Also, don’t forget about factoring the GCF first when possible!! Back to problem Set 2
