MATH - Square the 1st term of binomial

- Product of the terms in the binomial


POLYNOMIALS - Square he last term of the binomial
o MULTIPLICATION OF POLYNOMIALS NOTE:
- Multiplying a binomial and trinomial of  IF THE BINOMIAL FACTOR IS A SUM, THE
the form MIDDLE TERM OF THE BINOMIAL IS
(a + b) (a2 – ab + b2) = a3 + b3 NEGATIVE.
(a – b) (a2 + ab + b2) = a3 – b3  IF THE BINOMIAL FACTOR IS DIFFERENCE,
THE MIDDLE TERM OF THE BINOMIAL IS
F A C T O R I N G - Factoring means writing it as POSITIVE.
a product of other polynomials. 1) X3 + 8
= (x – 2) (x2 + 2x + 4)
o GREATEST MONOMIAL FACTOR 2) 8m3 + 125
steps: = (2m + 5) (4m2 – 10m + 25)
1. Find the GCF of the terms of the o PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL
polynomial steps:
2. Divide each terms of the 1. Check whether the first term and last
polynomial by the GCF terms are perfect squares and both
3. Rewrite the polynomial in positive
factored form 2. Check the middle term if it can be
1) 2x + 10 2) 6a – 48 expressed as twice the product of the
2x = 2 . x 6a = 6 . a square root of the perfect square terms
3. Write in factored form since the
10 = 2 . 5 48 = 6 . 8 conditions to be perfect square
trinomials are satisfied.
GCF = 2 GCF = 6 1) X2 + 4x +4
2 (x + 5) 6 (a – 8) (x + 2)

o DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARE 2 (x) (2) = 4x


steps: (x + 2)2
1. Express each term of the 2) X2 – 6x + 9
binomial in the form (a)2 (x – 3)
2. Get the square root of each 2 (x) (-3) = -6x
term and express the result as a
(x – 3)2
sum and difference of two terms
1) X2 – 9 o GENERAL TRINOMIALS OF THE FORM
= (x + 3) (x – 3) (Ax2 + Bx + C)
2) 25a2 – 16b2 A=1 B=a+b
= (5a + 4b) (5a – 4b) A=1 C = ab
o THE SUM AND DIFFERENCE OF TWO steps:
CUBE 1. The factors are the form ( _ + _ )
steps: and ( _ + _ ) find the two
1. Get the cube root of each term numbers whose product is the last
and express it in the form of (a)3 term and whose sum is the
+ (b)3 coefficient of the middle term
2. Express the first factor as a 2. Check the sign of the middle term
