7.8 Factor Completely by Factoring by Grouping DAY ONE with work 1 Feb 53:41 PM 7.8 Factor Polynomials Completely (by Grouping) Essential Question: How can you factor a polynomial completely? Factoring Polynomials by Grouping You have used the Distributive Property to factor out a greatest common monomial from a polynomial. Sometimes, you can factor out a common binomial. You may be able to use the Distributive Property to factor polynomials with four terms, as described below. CORE CONCEPT: Factoring by Grouping To factor a polynomial with four terms, group the terms into pairs. Factor the GCF out of each pair of terms. Look for and factor out the common binomial factor. This process is called factoring by grouping.

7.8 Factor Polynomials Completely (by Grouping)Essential Question: How can you factor a polynomial completely?

Factoring Polynomials by GroupingYou have used the Distributive Property to factor out a greatest common monomial from a polynomial. Sometimes, you can factor out a common binomial. You may be able to use the Distributive Property to factor polynomials with four terms, as described below. 

CORE CONCEPT: Factoring by GroupingTo factor a polynomial with four terms, group the terms into pairs. Factor the GCF out of each pair of terms. Look for and factor out the common binomial factor. This process is called factoring by grouping.

1)  How do you factor 2 terms?  Factor out the overall _____ (reverse distribute) then look for ______________________.

a)  5x2 + 25 b)  x2 ­ 100 c)  x2 + 36

2)  How do you factor 3 terms?  Overall ____ then reverse _________.  Keep in mind special products.

a)  x2 ­ 7x + 6 b)  2x2 ­ 20x + 50

3)  Explain the difference between x2 ­ 7x + 6 and x2 ­ 7x + 6 = 0

4)  How do you factor 4 terms?  Let's find out!  (Freshman ­ I know the excitement is building but stay calm!)

DISCOVERING how to Factor 4 terms:  

First multiply a binomial by a binomial by double distributing?  Let's double distribute:

(2a + 7x)(3m + 4z)

Now how could you take that final product and inverse the process to get our 2 starting binomial factors?
