Vocabulary Reminder

• Monomial

• Binomial

• Trinomial

An expression that is either a number, a variable, or the product of a number and one or more variables. (4, x, 5y)

The sum of two monomials (x+4)

Page 4: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

To solve a quadratic eqn. by factoring, you must

remember your factoring patterns!

Page 5: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Factor the expression.

a. x2 – 9x + 20SOLUTION

a. You want x2 – 9x + 20 = (x + m) (x + n) where mn = 20 and m + n = – 9.

ANSWER

Notice that m = – 4 and n = – 5. So, x2 – 9x + 20 = (x – 4)(x – 5).

Page 6: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

b. x2 + 3x – 12

b. You want x2 + 3x – 12 = (x + m) (x + n) where mn = – 12 and m + n = 3.

ANSWER

Notice that there are no factors m and n such that m + n = 3. So, x2 + 3x – 12 cannot be factored.

Guided PracticeFactor the expression. If the expression cannot be factored, say so.1. x2 – 3x – 18

SOLUTIONYou want x2 – 3x – 18 = (x + m) (x + n) where mn = – 18 and m + n = – 3.

Factor of – 18 : m,

n

1, – 18 –1, 18 – 3, 6 – 2, 9 2, – 9 – 6, 3

Sum of factors:

m + n

– 17 17 3 7 – 7 – 3

ANSWER

m = – 6 and n = 3 so x2 – 3x – 18 = (x – 6) (x + 3)

Page 8: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Guided Practice2. n2 – 3n + 9 SOLUTIONYou want n2 – 3n + 9 = (x + m) (x + n) where mn = 9 and m + n = – 3.

Factor of 9 : m, n

1, 9 – 1, – 9 3, 3 – 3, – 3

Sum of factors:

m + n

10 –10 6 – 6

ANSWERNotice that there are no factors m and n such that m + n = – 3 . So, n2 – 3x + 9 cannot be factored.

Factor with Special PatternsFactor the expression.a. x2 – 49

= (x + 7) (x – 7) Difference of two squares

b. d 2 + 12d + 36= (d + 6)2 Perfect square trinomial

c. z2 – 26z + 169= (z – 13)2

Perfect square trinomial

= x2 – 72

= d 2 + 2(d)(6) + 62

= z2 – 2(z) (13) + 132

Page 10: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Guided Practice

4. x2 – 9= (x – 3) (x + 3)

Difference of two squares

5. q2 – 100= (q – 10) (q + 10)

Difference of two squares

6. y2 + 16y + 64= (y + 8)2

Perfect square trinomial

Factor the expression.= x2 – 32

= q2 – 102

= y2 + 2(y) 8 + 82

Zero Product Property

• Let A and B be real numbers or algebraic expressions. If AB=0, then A=0 or B=0.

• This means that If the product of 2 factors is zero, then at least one of the 2 factors had to be zero itself!

• The answers, the solutions of a quadratic equation are called the roots or zeros of the equation.

Use a Quadratic Equation as a ModelNature Preserve

A town has a nature preserve with a rectangular field that measures 600 meters by 400 meters. The town wants to double the area of the field by adding land as shown. Find the new dimensions of the field.

Page 13: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

SOLUTION

480,000 = 240,000 + 1000x + x2 Multiply using FOIL.0 = x2 + 1000x – 240,000 Write in standard form.0 = (x – 200) (x + 1200) Factor.x – 200 = 0 x + 1200 = 0or Zero product propertyx = 200 orx = – 1200 Solve for x.

ANSWERReject the negative value, – 1200. The field’s length and width should each be increased by 200 meters. The new dimensions are 800 meters by 600 meters.

Page 14: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

What If ? In Example 4, suppose the field initially measures 1000 meters by 300 meters.

Find the new dimensions of the field.SOLUTION

New Area New Length

(meters)

New width (meters)

=

2(1000)(300) = (1000 + x) (300 + x)600000 = Multiply using FOIL.300000 + 1000x + 300x + x2

0 = x2 + 1300x – 300000 Write in standard form.

0 = (x – 200) (x + 1500)

Factor.

x – 200 = 0 x + 1500 = 0or Zero product property

x = 200 or x = – 1500 Solve for x.

Page 15: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

ANSWER

Reject the negative value, – 1200. The field’s length and width should each be increased by 200 meters. The new dimensions are 1200 meters by 500 meters.

Finding the Zeros of an EquationFinding the Zeros of an Equation

• The Zeros of an equation are the x-intercepts !

• First, change y to a zero.• Rewrite the function in intercept form.• Now, solve for x.• The solutions will be the zeros of the equation.

Page 17: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Example: Find the Zeros ofy=x2-x-6

y=x2-x-6 Change y to 00=x2-x-6 Factor the right side0=(x-3)(x+2) Set factors =0x-3=0 OR x+2=0 Solve each equation +3 +3 -2 -2 x=3 OR x=-2 Check your solutions!

If you were to graph the eqn., the graph would cross the x-axis at (-2,0) and (3,0).

Page 18: 1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Guided PracticeFind the zeros of the function by rewriting the function in intercept form. y = x2 + 5x – 14

SOLUTION

y = x2 + 5x – 14 Write original function.

= (x + 7) (x – 2) Factor.

The zeros of the function is – 7 and 2

Check Graph y = x2 + 5x – 14. The graph passes through ( – 7, 0) and (2, 0).
