Factoring

Hi!! everyone!!!
Today we did factoring and it's kind of easy so you don't have to worry too much. :)

Here's the notes that mrs.Ingram wroth to the blackboard;


Factoring
- The numbers or variables that multiply to get another value.

Ex. 1
24

the factors of 24 are;

1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6, -6 x -4, -1 x -24, -2 x -12, -3 x -8

Ex. 2

x² = (x)(x)

Ex. 3

3x³+ 6x + 27


factor---- 3(x³ + 2x +9 )

-- remember you can't factor the numbers and variables inside the bracket because there's no factors of 9 that can get 2.

x² +2x +9 ----- ax²+ bx + c

Ex. 4


x² + 6x -7 ( You should find the factor of 7 that if we add or subtract we can get a positive 6 )

factor--- (x-1)(x-7) ( if you want to make sure that you're answer is correct just multiply (x-1) to (x-7)


Mrs. Ingram also give us an assignment, Exercise 2 1-20 except 14 a nd 18

Enjoy your homework :)
