Factoring

(Problem Solving)
The factoring techniques
1. Common Monomial Factor
2. Difference of Two Squares
3.Perfect Square Trinomials

4. 𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐

5. 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
Questions to be asked
when factoring
1. Is there a GCF?
Yes
Factor as the product of the GCF and one
other factor—i.e. (GCF)(the other factor).
Look at the other factor and go to the next
step below with it.
No
Go the the next step.
Questions to be asked
when factoring
2. Is it a binomial?
Yes
Is it a difference of two squares?
(a2-b2)
 Yes—Factor as (a+b)(a-b).
 No—It can’t be factored any more.
No
Go to the next step.
Questions to be asked
when factoring
3. Is it a trinomial?
 Yes
1. Do you recognize it as a pattern for a perfect square
trinomial? (a2+2ab+b2) or (a2-2ab+b2)
 Yes—Factor as (a+b)2 or (a-b)2
 No—Go to next step.
2. Use the factoring by grouping method to look for factors.
Can you find factors of ac that add up to b?
 Yes—Rewrite the equation with those factors, group, and factor.
 No—You can’t do anything else. If there’s no GCF, it’s a prime
polynomial.
 No
 Go to the next step.
TAKE NOTE OF THIS!
At EVERY step along the way,
you must look at the factors that
you get to see if they can be
factored any more.
Factoring completely means that no factors
can be broken down any further using any of
the rules you’ve learned.
