1. X-box Factoring X-box Factoring

2. X-box Factoring X-box Factoring • This is a guaranteed method for factoring quadratic equations—no guessing necessary! • We will learn how to factor quadratic equations using the x-box method • Background knowledge needed:  Multiplying integers  Adding & Subtracting integers  General form of a quadratic equation

3. Standard 11.0 Standard 11.0 Students apply basic factoring techniques to second- and simple third-degree polynomials. These techniques include finding a common factor for all terms in a polynomial, recognizing the difference of two squares, and recognizing perfect squares of binomials. Objective: Use the x-box method to factor non-prime quadratic trinomials.

4. Factor the x-box way Example: Factor 3x 2 -13x -10 -30 x 2 (3x 2 )(-10) -13x -15x 2x -10 -15x 2x 3x 2 x -5 3x +2 3x 2 -13x -10 = (x-5)(3x+2)

5. Factor the x-box way Middle (b-term) bx Product a c x 2 = m n Product 1st & Last (a & c) terms y = ax 2 + bx + c Last term (constant) 1 st Term (a-term)

6. Factor the x-box way b= m + n Sum m & n Product of m&n ( a c x 2 ) m n y = ax 2 + bx + c Last term 1st Term Factor m Factor n GCF

7. Examples Examples Factor using the x-box method. 1. x 2 + 4x – 12 a) b) x 4x -12x 2 6x -2x x 2 6x -2x -12 x -2 +6 Solution: x 2 + 4x – 12 = (x + 6 )(x - 2 )

8. Examples continued Examples continued 2. x 2 - 9x + 20 a) b) -9x +20x 2 x 2 -4x -5x 20 x x -4 -5 Solution: x 2 - 9x + 20 = (x - 4 )(x - 5 ) -4x -5x

9. Think-Pair-Share Think-Pair-Share 1. Based on the problems we’ve done, list the steps in the diamond/box factoring method so that someone else can do a problem using only your steps. 2. Trade papers with your partner and use their steps to factor the following problem: x 2 +4x -32.

10. Trying out the Steps 3. If you cannot complete the problem using only the steps written, put an arrow on the step where you stopped. Give your partner’s paper back to him. 4. Modify the steps you wrote to correct any incomplete or incorrect steps. Finish the problem based on your new steps and give the steps back to your partner. 5. Try using the steps again to factor: 4x 2 +4x -3.

11. Stepping Up 6. Edit your steps and factor: 3x 2 + 11x – 20. 7. Formalize the steps as a class.

12. Examples continued Examples continued 3. 2x 2 - 5x - 7 a) b) -5x -14x 2 2x 2 -7x 2x -7 x 2x -7 +1 Solution: 2x 2 - 5x – 7 = (2x - 7 )(x + 1 ) -7x 2x

13. Examples continued Examples continued 3. 15x 2 + 7x - 2 a) b) +7x -30x 2 15x 2 10 x -3 x -2 5x 3x +2 -1 Solution: 15x 2 + 7x – 2 = (3x + 2 )(5x - 1 ) 10x -3x
