1 LESSON 15.3 Factoring ax 2 + bx + c A.SSE.2 Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. Also A.SSE.3? ESSENTIAL QUESTION How can you factor expressions of the form ax 2 + bx + c? Factoring a x 2 + bx + c where c > 0 When you factor a polynomial in the form ax 2 + bx + c, the result will be the product of two binomial factors, in the form ( x + )( x + ). The product of the two coefficients of x will be a, and the product of the two constant terms will be c. The sum of the products of the inner and outer terms will be bx. Math On the Spot EXAMPLE 1 A.SSE.2 A Factor 4 x x STEP 1 Factor out any common factors of 4, 26, and x x + 42 = 2(2 x x + 21) STEP 2 STEP 3 Make a table that lists the factor pairs for a and c. Find the value of b that results from each combination of factor pairs. a = 2 c = 21 1 and 2 1 and 21 (1)(21) + (2)(1) = 23 1 and 2 3 and 7 (1)(7) + (2)(3) = 13 1 and 2 7 and 3 (1)(3) + (2)(7) = 17 1 and 2 21 and 1 (1)(1) + (2)(21) = 43 Use the combination of factor pairs that yields the correct value of b to factor the polynomial. (1x + 3)(2x + 7) =(x + 3)(2x + 7) 4 x x + 42 = 2(x + 3)(2x + 7) 13 is the sum that you re looking for. B Factor 3 x 2-26x STEP 1 Factor out any common factors of 3, 26, and 35. 3, 26, and 35 share no common factors other than 1. Lesson
2 STEP 2 Make a table that lists the factor pairs for a and c. Find the value of b that results from each combination of factor pairs. My Notes a = 3 c = 35 1 and 3-1 and -35 (1)(-35) + (3)(-1) = 38 1 and 3-5 and -7 (1)(-7) + (3)(-5) = 22 1 and 3-7 and -5 (1)(-5) + (3)(-7) = 26 1 and 3-35 and -1 (1)(-1) + (3)(-35) = 106 STEP 3 Use the combination of factor pairs that yields the correct value of b to factor the polynomial. -26 is the sum that you re looking for. 3x 2-26x + 35 = (1x - 7)(3x - 5) = (x - 7)(3x - 5) REFLECT 1. Critical Thinking When factoring 3 x 2-26x + 35, why should both factors of c be negative? 2. What If? If none of the factor pairs for a and c result in the correct value for b, what do you know about the polynomial? YOUR TURN Factor each polynomial x 2-14x x x x 2-48x x x + 70 Personal Math Trainer Online Practice and Help x x x 2-165x Unit 4
3 Factoring a x 2 + bx + c where c < 0 When factoring ax 2 + bx + c, if the value of c is negative, you know that one of the factors of c must be negative and one must be positive. Apply what you already know about factoring trinomials to this new situation. EXAMPLE 2 A.SSE.2 Math On the Spot A Factor 6 x 2-21x STEP 1 Factor out any common factors of 6, 21, and x 2-21x - 45 = 3(2 x 2-7x - 15) STEP 2 Make a table that lists the factor pairs for a and c. Since c is negative, one factor will be positive and the other will be negative. a = 2 c = and 2 1 and -15 (1)(-15) + (2)(1) = 13 1 and 2 3 and -5 (1)(-5) + (2)(3) = 1 1 and 2 5 and -3 (1)(-3) + (2)(5) = 7 1 and 2 15 and -1 (1)(-1) + (2)(15) = 29 1 and 2-1 and 15 (1)(15) + (2)(-1) = 13 1 and 2-3 and 5 (1)(5) + (2)(-3) = 1 1 and 2-5 and 3 (1)(3) + (2)(-5) = 7 1 and 2-15 and 1 (1)(1) + (2)(-15) = 29-7 is the sum that you re looking for. STEP 3 Use the combination of factor pairs that yields the correct value of b to factor the polynomial. (1x - 5)(2x + 3) = (x - 5)(2x + 3) B Factor 4 x 2 + 4x x 2-21x - 45 = 3(x - 5)(2x + 3) STEP 1 Factor out any common factors for 4, 4, and 35. STEP 2 4, 4, and 35 share no common factors other than 1. Make a table that lists the factor pairs for a and c. Since c is negative, one factor will be positive and the other will be negative. Lesson
4 Math Talk Mathematical Practices How does the sign of c help you choose the correct factor pair for c? a = 4 c = and 4 1 and -35 (1)(-35) + (4)(1) = 31 1 and 4 5 and -7 (1)(-7) + (4)(5) = 13 1 and 4 7 and -5 (1)(-5) + (4)(7) = 23 1 and 4 35 and -1 (1)(-1) + (4)(35) = and 4-1 and 35 (1)(35) + (4)(-1) = 31 1 and 4-5 and 7 (1)(7) + (4)(-5) = 13 1 and 4-7 and 5 (1)(5) + (4)(-7) = 23 1 and 4-35 and 1 (1)(1) + (4)(-35) = and 2 1 and -35 (2)(-35) + (2)(1) = 68 2 and 2 5 and -7 (2)(-7) + (2)(5) = 4 2 and 2 7 and -5 (2)(-5) + (2)(7) = 4 2 and 2 35 and -1 (2)(-1) + (2)(35) = 68 STEP 3 Use the combination of factor pairs that yields the correct value of b to factor the polynomial. 4x 2 + 4x - 35 = (2x + 7)(2x - 5) 4 is the sum that you re looking for. REFLECT 9. What If? Suppose a is a negative number. What would be the first step in factoring ax 2 + bx + c? Explain. 10. Make a Conjecture Using the information in the tables in Example 2, make a conjecture about what happens to b when you swap the positions of the plus and minus signs in the binomial factors.

5 Guided Practice 1.
