1 61 LESSON Understanding Advanced Factoring Warm Up New Concepts 1. Vocabulary A polynomial of degree one with two terms is a.. True or False: The GCF of -x 4 y 5 - xy + is xy. (11) (). Divide 4x - x + 5 by x - 1 using synthetic substitution. (51) Recall that synthetic division is used to divide a polynomial P(x) by a linear binomial of the form x - a and that the last number in the bottom row is the remainder and also the value of P(a). If the remainder is 0, the linear binomial is a factor of the polynomial. This is known as the Factor Theorem. Factor Theorem For polynomial P(x), (x - a) is a factor of P(x) if and only if P(a) = 0. Hint x + = x - (-), so the value of a is -. For example, x + is a factor of x + 10x + 16 and P(-) = (-) + 10(-) + 16 = = 0. Example 1 Determining Whether a Linear Binomial is a Factor Determine whether the linear binomial is a factor of the polynomial. a. P(x) = x - x - 4x + 60, x - 4 SOLUTION Use synthetic division with a = Because P(4) = 0, x - 4 is a factor of P(x) = x - x - 4x b. P(x) = x + x - 4x + 6, x + SOLUTION Use synthetic division with a = Because P(-) 0, x + is not a factor of P(x) = x + x - 4x + 6. Online Connection When the remainder is zero, the quotient of P(x) and (x - a) is another factor of the polynomial. This factor may be able to be further factored by other factoring methods. For instance, in Example 1a, the quotient x + 7x - 15 factors into (x - )(x + 5). Therefore, P(x) factors into (x - 4)(x - )(x + 5). 46 Saxon Algebra

2 If the remaining quotient is a cubic, it may be factorable by one of the following factoring methods. Sum and Difference of Cubes Sum of Two Cubes: a + b = (a + b)(a - ab + b ) Difference of Two Cubes: a - b = (a - b)(a + ab + b ) Math Reasoning Justify Tell why x - 1 is not a difference of cubes. Example Factoring the Sum and Difference of Two Cubes Factor each expression. a. d + 15 SOLUTION The expression is a sum of two cubes, where a = d and b = 5. d + 15 (d + 5)(d - 5d + 5) b. 7x 6 + y 9 SOLUTION The expression is a sum of two cubes, where a = x and b = y. 7x 6 + y 9 = (x ) + (y ) (x + y )(9x 4 - x y + y 6 ) c. m 5-4m SOLUTION First factor out the GCF, m. Then factor the difference of the two cubes, where a = m and b =. m 5-4m m (m - 8) m (m - )(m + m + 4) Another method of factoring is factoring by grouping. To factor by grouping, group the terms evenly so that each group has a common factor. Factor out the GCF from each group. Then factor out the common polynomial factor. Example Factor each expression. a. x + 5x + x + 15 Factoring by Grouping SOLUTION The first two terms have a common factor as do the last two terms. (x + 5x ) + (x + 15) x (x + 5) + (x + 5) Factor x from the first group and from the second. (x + 5)(x + ) Factor out the GCF of (x + 5). Neither factor can be factored further. Lesson 61 47

3 Math Reasoning Analyze Can a polynomial with five terms be factored by using the grouping method? Explain. b. x 4 + 4x - x - 4 SOLUTION Factor x from the first two terms and -1 from the last two terms. x 4 + 4x - x - 4 x (x + 4) - 1(x + 4) (x + 4)(x - 1) Factor out the GCF of (x + 4). (x + 4)(x - 1)(x + x + 1) Factor the difference of cubes. c. x 6 + x 5 + x 4 + x + x + SOLUTION Use two groups of three terms each. (x 6 + x 5 + x 4 ) + (x + x + ) x 4 (x + x + ) + 1(x + x + ) (x + x + )(x 4 + 1) Factor out the GCF of (x + x + ). (x + 1)(x + )(x 4 + 1) Factor the trinomial. Example 4 Application: Three-Dimensional Figures The volume of a rectangular solid with a length of x - 5 feet has a volume of x - x + 170x cubic feet. Factor the expression for the volume completely. SOLUTION Since volume is the product of the length, width, and height, the expression for the length, x - 5, is a factor of the polynomial. Use synthetic division to find the quotient of the polynomial and x The expression for the volume factors into (x - 5)(x - 18x + 80). But the trinomial can still be factored: (x - 10)(x - 8). The expression for the volume factors into (x - 5)(x - 10)(x - 8). Lesson Practice Determine whether the linear binomial is a factor of the polynomial. a. P(x) = x + 19x + x + 16, x + (Ex 1) (Ex 1) b. P(x) = 4x - x + 56x - 1, x - 6 Factor each expression. c h d. s 6 t 1-15r (Ex ) (Ex ) e. 8 7 x7 + x 4 f. xy - 9y + 5x - 45 (Ex ) (Ex ) (Ex ) g. 4m n + 1m - n - h. x 5 + 1x 4 + 6x + 5x + 60x (Ex ) (Ex ) (Ex 4) i.

But the equation does have solutions when a new set of numbers, outside of the real numbers, is introduced. These numbers are the imaginary numbers. Imaginary Numbers An imaginary number is written in the form bi where b is a real number and i is the imaginary unit. i is a solution of x = -1. Because i = -1, i = -1.

If the shortest leg of a triangle has length 1, then the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle are and. (5) New Concepts A unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit. Exploration Exploring the Unit Circle Use trigonometric ratios to determine the coordinates of points on a unit circle that is centered at the origin. 1. The figure shows a unit circle and a 60 angle in standard position. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle? How do you know?. Use what you know about special right triangles to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle.. What are the coordinates of point P? 4. What are the exact values of cos 60 and sin 60? 5. How are the values of cos 60 and sin 60 related to the coordinates of point P? 6. Describe how you can use a similar method to find the coordinates of point Q. 7. Explain how the values of cos 45 and sin 45 are related to the coordinates of point Q y y x x 1 1 P(x, y) y y x Q(x, y) x Reading Math Remember the symbol θ is read theta. Online Connection Angles can be measured in degrees or in radians. The measure of an angle in radians is based on arc length, the distance between two points on a circle. In a circle with radius r, the measure of a central angle θ is one radian when it intercepts an arc that has a length equal to the radius. r θ = 1 radian r Lesson 6 447

13 There are 60 or π radians in a circle. Thus the conversion factor π 60, which is equivalent to 1, can be used to convert measures θ = -10 = - 7π 6 between degrees and radians. All angles are measured clockwise or counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. Measured clockwise, they are negative angles. In the figure, the -10 angle is equivalent to an angle measure of 150. y θ = 60 = π radians x Converting Angle Measures Degrees to Radians Radians to Degrees Multiply the number of degrees Multiply the number of radians by ( π radians 180 ). by 180 ( π radians ). Math Language Angle measures in radians often appear without the label radians. For example, - π 6 radian is often written simply as - π 6. Example 1 Converting Between Degrees and Radians Convert each measure from degrees to radians or from radians to degrees. a. -0 SOLUTION -0 ( π radians 180 ) = - π b. π 4 radians SOLUTION ( π 6 radians Multiply by ( π radians 180 ). 4 radians 180 ) ( π radians ) = 15 Multiply by ( 180 π radians ). For every point P(x, y) on the unit circle, the value of r is 1. Therefore, if θ is an angle in standard position whose terminal side passes through point (x, y) on the unit circle, then: sin θ = y r = y 1 = y cos θ = x r = x 1 = x tan θ = y x So, the coordinates of P can be written as (cos θ, sin θ). The Unit Circle ( 1 (0, 1) ( 1 π,, ) ) ( π π, ) 90 ( π π, ) ( π 5π ( 6, 1 ), 1 ) (-1, 0) π 180 II I 0 0 (1, 0) III IV π 11π π 5π 40 ( π 4, 1 (, 1 ) 4π π (, ( ) ), (0, -1) ( 1, ( 1 ), ) The diagram shows the equivalent degree and radian measures of special angles, and the corresponding x- and y-coordinates of points on the unit circle. ) 448 Saxon Algebra

14 Example Using the Unit Circle to Evaluate Trigonometric Functions Use the unit circle to find each trigonometric function value. Find exact values. a. sin 10 Hint The exact value of sin 10 is irrational. An approximate value is sin 10 = exact approximate SOLUTION The terminal side of 10 passes through the point (- 1, ) on the unit circle. sin θ = y sin 10 = b. tan 11π 6 SOLUTION The terminal side of 11π passes through the point 6 (, - 1 ) on the unit circle. tan θ = y x tan 1-11π 6 = = - 1 = - 1 = - 1 = - To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. Rationalize the denominator. You can use reference angles and the portion of the unit circle in Quadrant I to determine trigonometric function values. Evaluate Trigonometric Functions using Reference Angles To find the sine, cosine, or tangent of θ: Step 1: Determine the measure of the reference angle of θ. Step : Use the portion of the unit circle in Quadrant I to find the sine, cosine, or tangent of the reference angle. Step : Use the quadrant of the terminal side of θ in standard position to determine the sign of the sine, cosine, or tangent. Lesson 6 449

15 The diagram shows how the signs of the trigonometric functions are determined by the quadrant that contains the terminal side of θ in standard position. QII QIII sinθ + sinθ + cosθ cosθ + tanθ tanθ + sinθ sinθ cosθ cosθ + tanθ + tanθ QI QIV Hint Recall that a reference angle is an acute angle. So for θ < 60, the measure of θ is: QII θ QIII - θ QIV θ Math Language An arc is an unbroken part of a circle consisting of two points on the circle, called endpoints, and all the points on the circle between them. This arc is named RS. R S Example Using Reference Angles to Evaluate Trigonometric Functions Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of 15. Find exact values. SOLUTION Step 1: Find the measure of the reference angle. The measure of the reference angle is 45. Step : Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of the reference angle. sin 45 = Use sin θ = y. cos 45 = Use cos θ = x. tan 45 = 1 Use tan θ = y x. Step : Determine the sign. sin 15 = In Quadrant II, sin θ is positive. cos 15 = - tan 15 = -1 In Quadrant II, cos θ is negative. In Quadrant II, tan θ is negative. The arc length of a circle intercepted by the central angle is related to the central angle. Arc Length Formula For a circle of radius r, the arc length s intercepted by a central angle θ (measured in radians) is given by the following formula. s = rθ 45 y 45 y 15 x x (, ) θ r s The arc length s of a circle is a portion of the circumference of a circle. This portion is the ratio between the measure of the central angle and the measure of the entire circle multiplied by the circumference of the circle. Thus, s = θ π πr or s = θr. 450 Saxon Algebra

Example 5 Application: Planet Rotation Earth makes one complete rotation in 4 hours, and its radius is approximately 955 miles. If an object is fixed on Earth s equator, how far does it travel in 1 hour due to Earth s rotation? 1 4 of a rotation in 1 hour SOLUTION r = 955 mi The central angle that corresponds to a complete rotation is π radians. In 1 hour, Earth makes 1 of a complete rotation. So, θ = 1 π = π s = rθ = 955 π The object travels about 105 miles in 1 hour. Check Find the approximate circumference of Earth: πr π 955 4,850 miles. 1 of 4,850 is slightly greater than 1000, so 105 miles is reasonable. 4 Lesson 6 451
