Sect. 5.7 Summary of Factoring Techniques General Factoring Strategy:
Z: (if needed) Arrange in Descending Order of Exponents A: (if needed) Factor out the Greatest Common Factor B: Count the number of terms remaining:
2 Terms: If it’s A2-B2 or A3-B3 or A3+B3 use the factoring pattern 3 Terms: If it’s A2+2AB+B2 or A2-2AB+B2 use the factoring pattern
If it’s x2+bx+c then use a factors table If it’s ax2+bx+c then use an ac grouping table
4 Terms: Try grouping terms… 2 and 2, or 3 and 1, or 1 and 3 >4 Terms: Look for binomial or trinomial patterns, and try grouping
C: Always Factor Completely – did you miss a common factor or is there another pattern to be factored?
D: Check your factorization by multiplying
