Factoring by Grouping
• You can use the Distributive Property to factor by grouping if two groups of terms have the same factor.
y3 + 3y2 + 4y + 12• To factor by grouping look for a common
binomial factor of two pairs of terms.
y2(y + 3) + 4(y + 3)
Factoring Polynomials with Four Terms by Grouping
y2(y + 3) + 4(y + 3) • Factor out the common binomial
(y + 3)(y2 + 4)
Factoring Polynomials with Four Terms by Grouping
• Factor each expression. Check your answer.5t4 + 20t3 + 6t + 242w3 + w2 – 14w – 7
Factoring Completely
• Before you factor by grouping, you may need to factor the GCF of all the terms of a polynomial.
• Remember, a polynomial is not completely factored until there are no common factors other than 1.
Factoring Completely• Factor 12p4 + 10p3 – 36p2 – 30p• Factor out the GCF• = 2p(6p3 + 5p2 – 18p – 15)• Factor by grouping• = 2p[p2(6p + 5) – 3(6p + 5)]• Factor out the common binomial• 2p(6p + 5)(p2 – 3)
Factoring Completely
• Factor 45m4 – 9m3 + 30m2 – 6m
Factoring Trinomials by Grouping
• Factor 24q2 + 25q – 25• Step 1: Find the product of ac
(24)(-25) = -600• Step 2 Find the factors of ac that have
sum b.(-12)(50) -12 + 50 = 38(-15)(40) -15 + 40 = 25
Factoring Trinomials by Grouping
• Factor 24q2 + 25q – 25• Step 3: Rewrite the trinomial
24q2 -15q + 40q – 25• Step 4: Factor by grouping
3q(8q – 5) + 5(8q – 5)(3q + 5)(8q – 5)
Factor each trinomial by grouping
• 63d2 + 44d + 5• 4y2 + 33y - 70
Summary
1. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF)
2. If the polynomial has two terms or three terms, look for a difference of two squares, a product of two squares, or a pair of binomial factors.
Summary
3. If there are four or more terms, group terms and factor to find common binomial factors.
4. As a final check, make sure there are no common factors other than 1.
