Lesson 1

Vocabulary List:
Before you proceed reading to lesson 1, be sure to be familiarized with
the following terms listed below. It will help you understand this module
better.
II. Objectives
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
find the greatest common monomial factor (GCMF) of polynomials
factor polynomials with greatest common monomial factor (GCMF)
Learning Activities:
24 = 1 · 24
= 2 · 12
= 3·8
= 4·6
} Set of factors of 24
24 = 2 · 12
=2·2·2·3
= 2³ · 3
24 = 3 · 8
=3·2·2·2
= 3 · 2³
24 = 4 · 6
=2·2·2·3
= 2³ · 3
Therefore, the prime factors of 24 are 2³ and 3.
The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more integers is
the greatest integer that is a factor of all given integers.
Example 2: Find the GCF of 30 and 36.
30 = 2 · 3 · 5 GCF = 2 · 3 = 6
4
36 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 3
The greatest common monomial factor (GCMF) of two or more
monomials is the product of the GCF of the numerical coefficient and the
common variable factors.
5
2𝑚(2𝑚𝑛 + 5) = 4𝑚²𝑛 + 10𝑚

Example 5: Factor 12𝑥𝑦² − 16𝑥²𝑦 + 24𝑥³𝑦³
Solution:
Step 1: Find the GCF of 12,16, and 24. 4
Step 2: Find the common variable with the least exponent. 𝑥𝑦
Step 3: The GCMF is the product of step 1 and step 2. 4𝑥𝑦
16𝑥 𝑦 24𝑥 𝑦
Step 4: Divide the polynomial by GCMF. 12𝑥𝑦
2− 2 + 3 3
4𝑥𝑦 4𝑥𝑦 4𝑥𝑦
= 3𝑦 − 4𝑥 + 6𝑥2𝑦2
Thus, the factored form of 12𝑥𝑦² − 16𝑥²𝑦 + 24𝑥³𝑦³ 𝑖𝑠 4𝑥𝑦(3𝑦 − 4𝑥 + 6𝑥²𝑦²).
To check, apply the distributive property.

answer the given assignment.
Lesson 2
Learning Activities:
𝑎2 − 𝑏2 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)(𝑎 − 𝑏)
a. Yes; 𝑛2 − 4 = 𝑛2 − 22
b. Yes; (𝑥3𝑦3)² − (1)2
c. No; the exponent of 𝑟 is 5 and 𝑟 5 is not a perfect square
d. No; 7 is not a perfect square
e. Yes; −25 + 𝑐 4 can be written as 𝑐 4 − 25 and
𝐶4 − 25 = (𝐶2)2 − (5)2.
Example 2: Factor the binomials that shows difference of two
squares in example 1
a. 𝑛2 − 4
Solution: √4 = 2 , since
2(2) = 4
Step 1: √𝑛² = 𝑛 , since 𝑛(𝑛) = 𝑛2
Step 2: (𝑛 + 2)(𝑛 − 2)
b. 𝑥6𝑦6 − 1
Form the two factors, one a sum
Solution: and the other a difference.
√1 = 1
Step 2: (𝑥3𝑦3 + 1)(𝑥3𝑦3 − 1)
c. −25 + 𝑐4 = 𝑐4 − 25
Solution:
4
Get the principal square root of 𝑑4
Step 1: √𝑑 = 𝑑 2
and 81.
√81 = 9
Form two factors, one a sum and
Step 2: (𝑑2 + 9)(𝑑2 − 9) the other a difference.
𝑑4 − 81 = (𝑑2 + 9)(𝑑2 − 9)
But we still need to factor (𝑑2 − 9) since it still shows
difference of two squares.
Therefore, 𝑑4 − 81 = (𝑑2 + 9)(𝑑 + 3)(𝑑 − 3).
Solution:
b. 8𝑥2 − 50

Lesson 3
Vocabulary List:
a. Difference of Two Cubes - it is a difference of two terms which are
both perfect cubes
b. Sum of Two Cubes - it is a sum of two terms which are both perfect
cubes
c. Perfect Cube – a number whose cube root is a whole number
Learning Activities:
Two other types of factoring are the sum of two cubes and their
difference. Like the difference of two squares, they follow a definite
pattern.
Example 1: Factor 𝑦3 + 8
Solution:
Step 1: Get the cube root of 𝑦3 and 8.
3
√𝑦 3 = 𝑦 since 𝑦 · 𝑦 · 𝑦 = 𝑦³
3
√8 = 2 since 2 · 2 · 2 = 8
In 𝑦3 + 8 = (𝑦 + 2)(𝑦2 − 2𝑦 + 4)
Note: The sum of two cubes has two factors, one binomial and one
trinomial. The binomial factor is the sum of the cube roots of the
given terms. The trinomial factor is made up of the sum of the square
of the first term of the binomial factor, the negative of the product of
the first and second terms of the binomial factor and the square of
the second term of the binomial factor.
Example 2: Factor 64 − 𝑛3
Solution:
Step 1: Get the cube root of 64 and 𝑛 3.
3
√64 = 4 since 4 · 4 · 4 = 4³ = 64
3
√𝑛 3 = 𝑛 since 𝑛 · 𝑛 · 𝑛 = 𝑛³
Step 2: Take the operation between 64 and 𝑛3 to obtain the binomial
factor using the cube roots. 4−𝑛
Step 3: Form the Second trinomial factor by:
Square the first cube root 42 = 16
Take the negative product of the cube roots −(4 · −𝑛) =
4𝑛
Square the second cube root (𝑛)2 = 𝑛2
Therefore 64 − 𝑛3 = (4 − 𝑛)(16 + 4𝑛 + 𝑛 2)
Try This!

Lesson 4
Vocabulary List:
a. Perfect Square Trinomial – It is a trinomial that is a square of
a binomial. It is the result of squaring a binomial.
b. Trinomial – is an algebraic expression with three terms
c. Square root of a number – is a value that when multiplied by
itself, gives the number
Learning Activities:
In Math 7, you considered squaring binomials as a special product rule:
(𝑎 − 𝑏)2 = 𝑎2 − 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2
Using the above form, you can say that
𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)2
𝑎2 − 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2 = (𝑎 − 𝑏)2
A perfect square trinomial is the result of squaring a binomial. Note that
in order to be a perfect square trinomial, it must have the following
conditions:
the first and last terms are perfect squares.
the middle term is twice the product of the square root of the
first and last terms.
Example 1: Determine whether each of the following is a perfect
square trinomial.
a. 𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 + 9
b. 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 6
c. 𝑦2 − 4𝑦 + 16
d. 𝑦 2 − 10𝑦 + 25
e. 4𝑥 2 + 12𝑥 + 9
Solution:
a. 𝑥2 + 6𝑥 + 9
b. 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6
𝑥² is a perfect square and 6 is not a perfect square, so it does not
satisfy the first condition.
Therefore, 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6 is a quadratic trinomial or general trinomial.
c. 𝑦2 − 4𝑦 + 16
b. 𝑚2 − 14𝑚 + 49
Step 1: Get the square root of 𝑚² and 49
√𝑚2 = 𝑚 since 𝑚 · 𝑚 = 𝑚²
√49 = 7 since 7 · 7 = 49
Step 2: Use the minus sign (−) since it is the sign of the
middle term 14𝑚 𝑚−7
Step 2: Use the minus sign since it is the sign of the middle term
12𝑚. 1 – 6𝑚

the constant term in the trinomial is the product of the constant terms
in the binomial factors.
(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 + 3) = 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6

Step 2: Get the pair of factors in the list whose sum equals the
coefficient of the linear term.
Example 1: Factor 𝑚2 + 7𝑚 + 12
Solution: 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = 7, 𝑐 = 12
Since 𝑏 and 𝑐 are both positive you must consider the pair of
positive factors of 12.

In symbol, 𝑚2 + 7𝑚 + 12

Therefore, 𝑚2 + 7𝑚 + 12 = (𝑚 + 3)(𝑚 + 4)
Example 2: Factor 𝑛2 − 11𝑛 + 24.
Solution: 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −11, 𝑐 = 24
Since 𝑏 is negative and 𝑐 is positive you must consider the pair of
negative factors of 24.
Factors of 24 Sum of the factors
−1 , −24 −25
−2 , −12 −14
−3 , −8 −11
−4 , −6 −10
Get the factors of 24 whose sum is −11.

Write the binomial factors as (𝑛 − 3)(𝑛 − 8).
𝑛 𝑛 −1 − 24
−2 −12
−3 −8
−4 −6
Example 3: Factor 𝑑2 + 𝑑 − 6
Solution: 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = 1, 𝑐 = −6
Since 𝑐 is negative then the factors must have opposite signs.
𝑑2 + 𝑑 − 6
Get the factors of −6 whose sum is 1.
𝑑 𝑑 1 −6

2 −3
−2 3
Example 4: Factor 𝑘2 − 8k − 9
Solution: 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −8, 𝑐 = −9
Since 𝑐 is negative then the factors must have opposite signs.
𝑘2 − 8k − 9
Practice Task 1: Complete the table by finding the two integers with
the sum and product given.
Assignment
For you to reinforce the information provided in this lesson, try to
answer the given assignment.
Find all the integral values of k for which the given trinomials can be
factored.
1. 𝑥 2 + 𝑘𝑥 + 15
2. 𝑥 2 − 𝑘𝑥 − 12
3. 𝑥 2 + 𝑘𝑥 − 20
Case 2: Factoring 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃 𝒙 + 𝒄 when 𝒂 ≠ 𝟏
Learning Activities:
A quadratic polynomial in one variable, say 𝑥, is a polynomial
of the form 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 where 𝑎, 𝑏, and 𝑐 are real numbers. It is in the
second degree.
You may now consider factoring trinomials where the
coefficient of the second-degree term is not equal to one such as 2𝑥2 +
7𝑥 + 3 and 5𝑥2 − 9𝑥 − 2.
Here are the steps in factoring general trinomials under case
2.
Steps in factoring general trinomial 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 when 𝒂 ≠ 𝟏
Step 1: Factor out the greatest common factor other than one, if there is
any.
Step 2: Determine the sign pattern for the binomial factors.
Step 3: Find two first terms whose product is 𝑎𝑥2.
Step 4: Find two last terms whose product is 𝑐.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until a combination is found for which the
sum of the outer and inner is 𝑏𝑥.
(5𝑥 − 1) (𝑥 + 2) −𝑥 + 10𝑥 = 9𝑥
(5𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 1) 2𝑥 − 5𝑥 = −3𝑥
Get the correct factors that gives the middle term −9𝑥. (5𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 2)
Therefore, 5𝑥2 − 9𝑥 − 2 = (5𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 2)
Example 3: Factor 6𝑚2 − 13𝑚 + 5.
Solution: 𝑎 = 6, 𝑏 = −13, 𝑐 = 5
Since 𝑐 is positive and 𝑏 is negative then the factors of 5 must be both negative.

Answer: −10 and 1 where 𝑚 = −10 and 𝑛 = 1.
