Factoring a Trinomial with Last Term Positive Rule: The sign of b will be the sign that goes inside BOTH parenthesis
Warm Up – FACTOR (3m – 1)(m – 9) (2g + 3)(g + 2) 3m2 – 28m + 9
Last Term NEGATIVE
Factoring a Trinomial with Last Term Negative Rule: If b is Positive, then the larger number on the loop will need to be positive. If b is Negative, then the larger number on the loop will need to negative.
1. 3x2 – 20x – 7 ( )( ) x 3x + 1 – 7
2. 2x2 + 3x – 5 ( )( ) 2x x + 5 – 1
3. 5m2 + 14m – 3 ( )( ) 5m – 1 m + 3
4. x2 + 8x – 9 ( )( ) x + 9 x – 1
5. 2m2 – 3m – 9 ( )( ) 2m m + 3 – 3
6. 2x2 – 11x – 21 ( )( ) 2x + 3 x – 7
7. 3x2 – 5x – 12 ( )( ) 3x + 4 x – 3
(7y + 2)(y – 4) (4x – 5)(x + 3) 8. 7y2 – 26y – 8 9. 4x2 + 7x – 15 You Try... 8. 7y2 – 26y – 8 (7y + 2)(y – 4) 9. 4x2 + 7x – 15 (4x – 5)(x + 3)
(4x – 5)(x + 1) (3x + 4)(3x – 7) 10. 4x2 – x – 5 11. 9x2 – 9x – 28 You Try... 10. 4x2 – x – 5 (4x – 5)(x + 1) 11. 9x2 – 9x – 28 (3x + 4)(3x – 7)
Sometimes you can factor out a GCF 1st!
