CA STANDARDS 11.0: Students find a common factor to all of the terms in a polynomial. Agenda 1.)Lesson On Factoring Polynomials 2.)Assignment Learning Objectives: Students will be able to factor polynomials.
Factoring - REVERSEMultiplying It is the REVERSE of Multiplying. Example 1: It means we pull apart or take out! Factor out the Greatest Common Factor: What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.) Greatest Common Factor: G.C.F. is the biggest monomial that divides evenly into each term.
Example 2: Factor out the Greatest Common Factor: What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.) Try it! Factor out the Greatest Common Factor: What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.)
Example 3: Factor out the Greatest Common Factor: What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.) Factor out the Greatest Common Factor: What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.) Try it!
