Q & A

What is the first step in factoring a binomial using the greatest common factor (GCF)?

The first step is to identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of all terms in the binomial and factor it out.

How do you factor the expression 12x^2 - 2x?

The GCF of 12x^2 and -2x is 2x, so factoring it out gives 12x^2 - 2x = 2x(6x - 1).

What method is used to factor trinomials where the coefficient of x^2 is 1?

For trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1, find two numbers that multiply to the constant term and add to the coefficient of the middle term. These numbers are then used to write the factorized form.

How would you factor x^2 + 7x + 12?

Find two numbers that multiply to 12 and add to 7, which are 3 and 4. So, x^2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4).

How is factoring different when the leading coefficient is not 1?

When the leading coefficient is not 1, multiply it by the constant term, find two numbers that multiply to this product and add to the middle coefficient, then split the middle term and factor by grouping.

Explain how to factor 2x^2 + 5x + 3 using the grouping method.

Multiply 2 (leading coefficient) by 3 (constant) to get 6. Find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to 5 → 2 and 3. Split the middle term: 2x^2 + 2x + 3x + 3. Group: (2x^2 + 2x) + (3x + 3) = 2x(x + 1) + 3(x + 1) = (2x + 3)(x + 1).

What is the formula for factoring a difference of squares?

The formula is a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).

How do you factor 9x^2 - 49?

Recognize it as a difference of squares: 9x^2 = (3x)^2 and 49 = 7^2. So, 9x^2 - 49 = (3x + 7)(3x - 7).

What is the process for factoring a polynomial with four terms like x^3 + x^2 + x + 1?

Group terms: (x^3 + x^2) + (x + 1). Factor each group: x^2(x + 1) + 1(x + 1). Then factor out the common binomial: (x^2 + 1)(x + 1).

How do you factor 2ab + 2ac + 3b + 3c?

Group terms: (2ab + 2ac) + (3b + 3c). Factor each group: 2a(b + c) + 3(b + c). Factor out the common binomial: (2a + 3)(b + c).

Why is it important to verify your factorization?

Verifying factorization by multiplying the factors ensures the original expression is correctly reconstructed, confirming the factorization is accurate.

What common strategy is used for factoring both binomials and trinomials in the video script?

The common strategy is identifying common factors, splitting terms when needed, and factoring by grouping, followed by verification through multiplication.
