Factoring Simple Special

Products
Objectives:
 Perform factoring completely polynomials with
common monomial factor (CMF), perfect square
trinomial (PST), difference of two squares (DOTS),
and sum and difference of two cubes (SDOTC).
(M8AL-Ia-b-1)
 Evaluate and reflect problems involving factors of
polynomials. (M8AL-Ib-2)
Common Monomial Factor (CMF)
A polynomial is said to be factored completely when it is written
as a product of its prime factors.

÷ 𝟏𝟓𝐱 − 𝟓𝐱𝐲 ÷ 𝟔𝐱 + 𝟑𝐱 𝟐
common factor 𝟑𝐱 (𝟐 + 𝐱)
𝟓𝐱 (𝟑 − 𝐲)
÷𝟏𝟐𝐱 𝟐 − 𝟏𝟖𝐱𝐲 + 𝟐𝟒𝐱
𝟔𝐱 (𝟐𝐱 − 𝟑𝐲 + 𝟒)

Lesson Proper
Difference of Two Squares (DOTS)
When we multiply the sum and difference of the same two terms,
we note that the product is a difference of two square.

𝐱𝟐 − 𝐲𝟐 𝟑𝟔 − 𝟏𝟐𝟏𝐫 𝟐
𝐱 +𝐲 list the square root of 𝟔 +𝟏𝟏𝐫
𝐱 each terms −𝟏𝟏𝐫
−𝐲 𝟔
(𝐱 + 𝐲)(𝐱 − 𝐲) (𝟔 + 𝟏𝟏𝐫)(𝟔 − 𝟏𝟏𝐫)

Lesson Proper
Difference of Two Squares (DOTS)

𝟐 𝟐
𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐚 − 𝟒𝟗𝐛
𝟏𝟎𝐚 −𝟕𝐛 list the square root of
𝟏𝟎𝐚 +𝟕𝐛 each terms
(𝟏𝟎𝐚 − 𝟕𝐛)(𝟏𝟎𝐚 + 𝟕𝐛)

Lesson Proper
Perfect Square Trinomial (PST)
When we square a binomial, the product is called a perfect
square trinomial.

𝟐
𝐱 − 𝟏𝟎𝐱 + 𝟐𝟓 common factor 𝟒𝐱 𝟐 − 𝟒𝟎𝐱𝐲 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐲 𝟐
𝟒(𝐱 𝟐 − 𝟏𝟎𝐱𝐲 + 𝟐𝟓𝐲 𝟐 )
𝐱𝟐 =𝐱 𝟐𝟓 = 𝟓 square root 1st and last
term 𝐱𝟐 = 𝐱 𝟐𝟓𝐲 = 𝟓𝐲
(𝐱 − 𝟓)𝟐 Square, copy 𝟒(𝐱 − 𝟓𝐲)𝟐
the sign of the middle term

Lesson Proper
Perfect Square Trinomial (PST)

𝟗𝐱 𝟑 𝐲 − 𝟑𝟔𝐱 𝟐 𝐲 𝟐 + 𝟑𝟔𝐱𝐲 𝟑
𝟗𝐱𝐲(𝐱 𝟐 − 𝟒𝐱𝐲 + 𝟒𝐲 𝟐 ) common factor
𝐱𝟐 = 𝐱 𝟒𝐲 𝟐 = 𝟐𝐲 square root 1st and last term

𝟗𝐱𝐲(𝐱 − 𝟐𝐲)𝟐 Square, copy

Lesson Proper
Sum and Difference of Two Cubes (SDOTC)

𝐱𝟑 + 𝐲𝟑 𝐱𝟑 − 𝐲𝟑
𝟑 𝟑 𝟑 𝟑
𝐱𝟑 =𝐱 𝐲𝟑 =𝐲 cube root two terms 𝐱𝟑 =𝐱 𝐲𝟑 = 𝐲
(𝐱 + 𝐲) combine and copy the sign (𝐱 − 𝐲)
𝐱 𝟐 𝐱𝐲 𝐲 𝟐 Square 1st term, multiply two terms, 𝐱𝟐 𝐱𝐲 𝐲𝟐
square 2nd term
(𝐱 + 𝐲)(𝐱 𝟐 −𝐱𝐲 𝐲𝟐) (𝐱 − 𝐲)(𝐱 𝟐 +𝐱𝐲 + 𝐲 𝟐 )
+ Add signs and combine

Lesson Proper
Sum and Difference of Two Cubes (SDOTC)

𝟐𝟕𝐱 𝟑 + 𝟏
𝟑 𝟑
𝟐𝟕𝐱 𝟑 = 𝟑𝐱 𝟏=𝟏 cube root two terms

(𝟑𝐱 + 𝟏) combine and copy the sign

𝟗𝐱 𝟐 𝟑𝐱 𝟏 Square 1st term, multiply two terms,

(𝟑𝐱 + 𝟏)(𝟗𝐱 𝟐 −𝟑𝐱 + 𝟏) Add signs and combine

Lesson Proper
The area of a square lot is (𝟗𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟐𝒙 + 𝟒)𝒄𝒎𝟐 . Express the length of
a side of the lot in terms of x.

𝟗𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟐𝒙 + 𝟒 Perfect Square Trinomial (PST)

common factor

𝟗𝐱 𝟐 = 𝟑𝐱 𝟒=𝟐 square root 1st and last term

Square, copy
(𝟑𝐱 − 𝟐)𝟐 the sign of the middle term

The length of the square lot is 3x – 2cm.

Let’s Apply
The volume of a cubic storage bin is (𝟔𝟒𝒙𝟑 +𝟐𝟕)𝒎𝟑 . Express the volume in
factored form

𝟔𝟒𝒙𝟑 + 𝟐𝟕 Sum and Difference of Two Cubes (SDOTC)

𝟑
𝟔𝟒𝐱 𝟑 = 𝟒𝐱
𝟑
𝟐𝟕 = 𝟑 cube root two terms

(𝟒𝐱 + 𝟑) combine and copy the sign

The volume of a cubic storage bin in factored form (𝟒𝐱 + 𝟏)(𝟏𝟔𝐱 𝟐 −𝟏𝟐𝐱 + 𝟗)
