Sections 3.3-3.8 Math 1201 4 (I) Multiplying Binomials To multiple binomials we can use the following methods: Method 1: Use a rectangle diagram. (x - 3)(x + 1) Method 2: Use the distributive property. (x - 3)(x + 5)

Sections 3.3-3.8 Math 1201 5 Expand and simplify. (a) (x 4)(x + 2) (b) (8 b)(3 b) Expanding binomials by algebra tiles Which algebra tile model best represents the expansion of (x + 4)(x + 3)? A. B. C. D.

Sections 3.3-3.8 Math 1201 6 (II) Factoring x 2 + bx + c Trinomials To factor a trinomial such as: x 2 12x + 20 We will expand the binomials first Expand: (x 2)(x 10) (x 2)(x 10) and look at the four terms that form the trinomial above. Note: The two middle terms and ADD to give Also, these two numbers and MULTIPLY to give To factor a trinomial such as: x 2 12x + 20 into the product of two binomials, two conditions must be satisfied. The two numbers must MULTIPLY to give The two numbers must ADD to give So the trinomial below factors as: What number combination satisfies both conditions? x 2 12x + 20 = ANSWER: AND We can check by expanding ( )( ) to see if it generates the trinomial above.
