Quadratic Trinomial
Lesson 4
Factoring Trinomials of
the Form
Review: Find the product of (x + 3)(x + 2)
using FOIL method.

(x + 3) (x + 2)

F - (x)(x) =
2
O - (x) (2) = 2x 𝑥 +5 𝑥 +6
I - (3) (x) = 3x
L - (3) (2) = 6
Review: Find the product of (y + 6)(y – 2)
using FOIL method.

(y + 6)(y – 2)
F - (y) (y) =
2
O - (y) (-2) = -2y 𝑦 + 4 𝑦 −12
I - (6) (y) = 6y
L - (6) (-2) = -12
Trinomial - a polynomial with three terms.
,
where B and C are real numbers and the
coefficient of is 1.
Listing Method
List all the possible factors of the constant
or the value of C.
Examples: Determine the factors
of the following.
Example # 1: +7x + 6
By Listing method:

Factors of C Multiply the Add the Substitute Possible


Factors Factors + Bx +C Factors
(value of C) (value of B)

1 and 6 6 7 + 7x + 6 (x + 1) (x +6)
2 and 3 6 5 + 5x + 6 (x + 2) (x + 3)

Thus + 7x + 6 = (x + 1) (x + 6)
Example # 2:
By Listing method:
Factors of C Multiply the Add the Substitute Possible Factors
Factors Factors + Bx +C
(value of C) (value of B)

-1 and -51 51 -52 - 52n +51 (n – 1) (n – 51)


-3 and -17 51 -20 - 20n +51 (n – 3) (n – 17)

Thus, = (n – 3) (n – 17)
Example # 2:
By Trial and Error:
Factors whose product is 51 Sum of the Factors

(-1)(-51) (-1) + (-51) = -52


(-3)(-17) (-3) + (-17) = -20
Thus, = (n – 3) (n – 17)
Example # 3:
By Listing method:
Factors of C Multiply the Add the Substitute Possible
Factors Factors + Bx +C Factors
(value of C) (value of B)

-1 and 6 -6 5 + 5p – 6 (p – 1) (p + 6)
-2 and 3 -6 1 +p–6 (p – 2) (p + 3)

Thus, = (p – 2) (p + 3)
Example # 3:
By Trial and Error:
Factors whose product is -6 Sum of the Factors

(-1)(6) (-1) + 6 = 5
(-2)(3) (-2) + 3 = 1
Thus, = (p – 2) (p + 3)
Factoring trinomials of the
form Ax² + Bx + C
Review: Find the factors of the following

a. a²+ 3a + 2 b. b ² – b – 6
(a + ) (a + ) (b – ) (b + )
(a + 2) (a + 1 ) (b – 3 ) (b + 2 )
Review: Find the factors of the following

c. m²+ 16m + 39 d. x ²+ 3x – 28

(m + ) (m + ) (x – ) (x + )
(m + 3 ) (m +13) (x – 4 ) (x + 7 )
Factoring trinomials of the form
Ax² + Bx + C
Where A, B, and C are real numbers.
Identify the A, B, and C.

3x² + 5x + 2
A=3, B=5, C=2

8x² - 14x + 3
A=8, B=-14, C=3
Steps in Factoring Trinomials of the Form Ax² + Bx + C.

a. Multiply the value of A and C.


b. Factor the product of A and C such that those factors
will have the sum equal to B.
c. Replace B with a + b.
d. Perform factoring by grouping.
Examples: Determine the factors
of the following.
Example #1: 6x² + 17x + 5
a. (6)(5) = 30
b. 15 and 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
c. 6x² + 17x + 5 = 6x² +(15x + 2x) + 5
d. 6x² +(15x + 2x) + 5 = (6x² + 2x) (15x + 5)
2x(3x + 1) + 5(3x + 1)= (3x + 1) (2x + 5)
Example #2: 2x² + 7x + 3
a. (2)(3) = 6

b. 6 and 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
c. 2x² + 7x + 3 = 2x² +(6x + x) + 3
d. 2x² +(6x + x) + 3 = (2x² + 6x) (x + 3)

2x(x + 3) + (x + 3)= (x + 3) (2x + 1)


Example #3: 4c² - 6c + 2
a. (4)(2) = 8
b. -2 and -4 = -2 + (-4) = -6
c. 4c² - 6c + 2 = 4c² +(-2c – 4c) + 2
d. 4c² +(-2c – 4c) + 2 = (4c² - 2c) (-4c + 2)
2c(2c - 1) - 2(2c - 1)= (2c - 1) (2c - 2)
Example #4: 15n² - 2n – 1
a. (15)(-1) = -15
b. 3 and -5 = 3 + (-5) = -2
c. 15n² - 2n – 1 = 15n² +(3n – 5n) – 1
d. 15n² + (3n – 5n) – 1= (15n² - 5n) (3n – 1)
5n(3n - 1) + (3n – 1)= (3n – 1) (5n + 1)
