6.6 Factoring - Factoring Strategy Objective: Idenfity and use the correct method to factor various polynomials. With so many different tools used to factor, it is easy to get lost as to which tool to use when. Here we will attempt to organize all the different factoring types we have seen. A large part of deciding how to solve a problem is based on how many terms are in the problem. For all problem types we will always try to factor out the GCF first. Factoring Strategy (GCF First!!!!!) • 2 terms: sum or difference of squares or cubes: a 2 −b 2 =(a +b)(a −b) a 2 + b 2 = Prime a 3 + b 3 = (a+b)(a 2 −ab + b 2 ) a 3 −b 3 =(a −b)(a 2 + ab + b 2 ) • 3 terms: ac method, watch for perfect square! a 2 + 2ab + b 2 = (a+b) 2 Multiply to ac and add tob • 4 terms: grouping We will use the above strategy to factor each of the following examples. Here the emphasis will be on which strategy to use rather than the steps used in that method. Example 312. 4x 2 + 56xy + 196y 2 GCF first,4 4(x 2 + 14xy + 49y 2 ) Three terms, try ac method, multiply to 49, add to 14 7 and 7, perfect square! 234
Example 313. Example 314. Example 315. 4(x + 7y) 2 Our Solution 5x 2 y + 15xy − 35x 2 − 105x GCF first, 5x 5x(xy +3y − 7x − 21) Four terms, try grouping 5x[y(x + 3) − 7(x + 3)] (x + 3) match! 5x(x +3)(y − 7) Our Solution 100x 2 − 400 GCF first, 100 100(x 2 − 4) Two terms, difference of squares 100(x +4)(x − 4) Our Solution 108x 3 y 2 − 39x 2 y 2 + 3xy 2 GCF first,3xy 2 3xy 2 (36x 2 − 13x +1) Thee terms, ac method, multiply to 36, add to − 13 3xy 2 (36x 2 − 9x − 4x +1) − 9 and − 4, split middle term 3xy 2 [9x(4x − 1) − 1(4x − 1)] Factor by grouping 3xy 2 (4x − 1)(9x − 1) Our Solution World View Note: Variables originated in ancient Greece where Aristotle would use a single capital letter to represent a number. Example 316. 5+625y 3 GCF first, 5 5(1+125y 3 ) Two terms, sum of cubes 5(1+5y)(1 − 5y + 25y 2 ) Our Solution It is important to be comfortable and confident not just with using all the factoring methods, but decided on which method to use. This is why practice is very important! 235
