Factoring Trinomials Part 2 (Split the Middle)

Topics for Today:

We expanded our discussion today to include factoring polynomials where the leading coefficient is not 1.  We used the product-sum game to work with factors so we could "split the middle" of the equation, and then factor by grouping.




Sections Covered in Textbook:

9-6: Factoring Trinomials of the type ax+ bx + c (where a ≠ 1)

       (pages 486-489)


Resources & Tutorials:

1) Factor a trinomial using A-C method
    (This is a different method from what was introduced in class.)
2) Factor a trinomial with a > 1
    (This method is more like what was introduced in class.)
