6.4 F ACTORING P OLYNOMIALS Use the Factor Theorem to determine factors of a polynomial. Factor the sum and difference of two cubes. Learning Targets Why are we learning this? Ecologist may use factoring polynomials to determine when species might become extinct (Example 4) ESLR’s: CT, IL, GC Warm Up Factor each expression by finding Greatest Common Factor (GCF) x – 6 y 2. 3 x – 12 x 2 Factor each expression: x 2 – 9x x x - 16

Connecting with Old Concepts: Factors What are the factors of 12?What are the factors of x x – 3 Divide 20 by 7 using long division:What is the remainder?Is 7 a factor of 20? Using division how will we know if a number is a factor bigger number? Same thing is true for polynomials This is the Factor Theorem: A number is a factor of a bigger number if when dividing the remainder is zero!

Factor Theorem : A number is a factor of a bigger number if when dividing the remainder is zero! The zeros of a function, F(x), are the x values that make F(x) zero What is a?

Determine whether the given binomial is a factor of the polynomial P ( x ). Example 1: Determining Whether a Linear Binomial is a Factor A. ( x + 1); P ( x )= ( x 2 – 3 x + 1)B. ( x + 2); P ( x ) = (3 x x 3 – 5 x – 10) Do you see another factor for part b? Remainder Theorem: What is P ( -1 )

Factor: P ( x ) = x 3 – x 2 – 25 x Example 2: Tricks for Factoring: Factoring by Grouping Do you see a common factor in all 4 things? What do you see? Check It Out! Example 2a Factor: P ( x ) = x 3 – 2 x 2 – 9 x + 18.Factor: P ( x ) = 2 x 3 + x x + 4. What is the zero of P(x) = x - 2? What are the zeros of the above functions?

Rules for Factoring: SOPPS Example 3A: Factoring the Sum or Difference of Two Cubes Factor the expression. 4 x x 125 d 3 – 8

Check It Out! Example 3a Factor the expression. P(x) = 8 + x 6 P(x) = 2 x 5 – 16 x 2 Notice the question wants you to factor. If the question was to find the zeros then you don’t have to factor

Example 4: Ecology Application If a number, z, is a zero of the function, P(x), then (x – z) is a factor of P(x) Key Ideas: The x-intercepts of a functions are the zeros of the function. Therefore, we can use a graph to factor a polynomial function!
