6.7 Factoring a General Strategy • Standard: 11.0 • Goal: Apply basic factoring techniques including common factors, the difference of two squares, perfect squares of binomials, and bottoms up
Factoring • Try to factor out common terms.
Factoring • Try to factor out common terms. • Look for the number of terms: • If it is 2 terms is it the diff of 2 squares? A2 – B2 • If it has 3 terms determine whether the trinomial is a square of a binomial. If not, use bottoms up • If it has 4 terms factor by grouping 3.) Always factor completely
Factoring • Try to factor out common terms. • Look for: A2 – B2 • Factor completely
Factor: Cannot be factored
