Factoring Perfect Square TrinomialsLet's look at #'s 5 & 6 from the warm – up: 5. (x + 4)²
When multiplied, we find that (x + 4) (x + 4)
are factors of (x² + 8x + 16). This type of polynomial is known as a Perfect Square Trinomial
1. PST's have a square in the first & third terms: The first & third terms are always positive.
2. The factors of PST's are always either the square of a sum (x + y)², or the square of a difference (x - y)²
3. We arrive at the trinomial by performing a
" square, double, square" on the factor. To factor
then, we do the opposite, which is a sq. root, halve, sq. root. to arrive at the factors.

Recognizing & Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
Expand (Multiply):(x + 2)2We'll start at the end and find the trinomial first :
We use square, double, square to arrive at: x2 + 4x + 4
Our task today, then, is to determine whether this trinomial can be factored into either the square of a sum or the square of a difference.
sq. root(x) + half(2) + sq. root(2)x2 + 4x + 4Working the other way, the opposite of square, double, square is:
The middle term is twice the product of
the square root of the first term and the
square root of the third term.
Method # 1: A trinomial is a PST, if:Check: Is this a PST? x2 + 4x + 4Method #2: A trinomial is a PST, if: b 2
2= A*C
Using Method 2: x2 + 4x + 4 = 4 2 4 = 1*4

Always be aware of possible perfect square trinomials
(9x2 -24x + 16)
What's the Point? If you can identify a perfect square trinomial, it makes factoring very easy!
Recognizing & Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
Yes, b = acAnd the factored form is?= A*C
b 2
2Use method 2:
Factor the following: (x² - 16x + 64) = (x - 8)²(x² + 8x + 16) = (x + 4)²(x² - 15x + 36) Is not a sp. product. Can it be factored?

When Factoring:
1. Look for the GCF
2. Look for special cases.
a. difference of two squares
b. perfect square trinomial
3. If a trinomial is not a perfect square, look for two different binomial factors.
8t4 – 32t3 + 40t
= 8t(t3 - 4t + 5)
4x2 – 9y2
=(2x)2 – (3y)2
x2 + 8x + 16
= x2 + 8x + 42 = (x + 4)2
x2 + 11x – 10
= (x + 10)(x – 1)

Factoring Trinomials
Use any of the following methods to take the
guesswork out of factoring trinomials.
It would be a good idea to write the steps down
once, as they are easy to forget when away
from class
You can use these steps for any ax2 + bx + c
polynomial, and for any polynomial you are
having difficulty factoring.

Step 2Find the two factors of 24 that add to
the coefficient of the middle term.
Notice the 'plus, plus' signs in the
original trinomial.

Our two factors are 4 &
6

Method #3: Trial & Error
![Page 20: March 23, 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a5f34d1a28abc73d8b4778/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Factor the polynomial 25x2 + 20x + 4.
Possible factors of 25x2 are {x, 25x} or {5x, 5x}.
Possible factors of 4 are {1, 4} or {2, 2}.
We need to try each pair of factors until we find a combination that works, or exhaust all of our possible pairs of factors.
Keep in mind that, because some of our pairs are not identical factors, we may have to switch some pairs of factors and make 2 attempts before we can definitely decide a particular pair of factors will not work.
