Factoring a tri-nominal that has a coefficient greater than 1

Follow these steps. (Use this form, ax² + bx + c)

example 3x² + 5x + 2


1. multiply the first (a) and last coefficient (c)-------- 3 times 2 = 6

2. Now, find two factors of 6 that add up to the middle coefficient, (b), in this example its 5. Hmmmm, two numbers that make a product of 6 and a sum of 5, let’s see…….. I know, 2 and 3. CORRECT! 2 x 3 = 6 and 2+ 3 = 5

3. Split the middle term (5x) up with the new factors (2 and 3).

Re-write it now: it should look like this 3x² + 2x + 3x +2 order of 2 and 3 does not matter.

4. Next break in 2 groups, like this. (3x² +2x) (3x + 2) * Tricky part* find the GCF of both bi-nominal x is the GCF for the first and 1 is the GCF for the 2nd.

5. Divide each bi-nominal by its GCF.

It looks like this: (3x² + 2x) + (3x + 2)
X( 3x +2) 1(3x + 2) ( I divided each bi-nominal by its own gcf.)

6. Finally, get a GCF for the entire problem. X(3x +2) 1(3x +2) the GCF is 3x + 2
DIVIDE by 3x + 2

Answer (3x +2) (x + 1)

NOW CHECK USING F O I L
Combine 2x and 3x to get 5x
F= 3x times x = 3x²
O = 3x times 1 = 3x ---- Combine the like terms to get 5x
I = 2 times x = 2x
L = 2 times 1 = 2

Now put it together and get the original tri-nominal.

3x² +5x + 2 Eureka you did it!

factoring: difference of 2 perfect squares

Factor 4y2 - 36y6
Both 4y2 and 36y6 are perfect squares (their coefficients are perfect squares and their exponents are even numbers).

Since subtraction is occurring between these squares, this expression is the difference of two squares.

What times itself will give 4y2 ? The answer is 2y.

What times itself will give 36y6 ? The answer is 6y3 .

The factors are (2y + 6y3) and (2y - 6y3).

Answer: (2y + 6y3) (2y - 6y3) or (2y - 6y3) (2y + 6y3)

Difference of two perfect squares

Factor using difference of two perfect square s


A. y² - 64 (this is the difference of two perfect squares)

Like we said in class, NAIL IT DOWN, with this ( + ) ( - )


Now, what is the square root of y²? it is y; the square root of 64 is 8

So the final answer would be ( y – 8) ( y + 8)

B. 25x² - 4y² (Difference of two perfect squares)

ANSWER: ( 5x + 2y) (5x – 2y)
