Lesson 7.4 - Factoring Ax 2 + BX + C

1) The document provides a step-by-step process for factoring quadratic trinomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. It gives examples of factoring different trinomials using this process. 2) The process involves finding two numbers whose product is a and sum is b. These numbers become the factors of the first and second binomial terms. 3) Independent practice problems are provided for the reader to factor additional trinomials using the same step-by-step method outlined in the document.

Step 2 Form two binomials, placing the variable used with the two factors you found in Step 1.

Step-by-Step Process

Put the variable term in each set of

binomials.

= ( X 2 ) ( X t to ) Then place the factors you found in step 1 in

each binomial.

= ( X 2 ) ( X t to ) Then divide the factor you found in step 1 by


the leading coefficient.
