8 Lesson 4.0 Review Unit 4 Terminology: An open sentence contains one or more variables and is neither true nor false until a replacement is made for the variable(s). A solution is any replacement which makes an open sentence true. Equivalent equations are those that have the same solution. Properties for Equations: Addition: If a = b, then a + c = b + c. (also a - c = b - c) Solving Equations: Multiplication: If a = b and c 0, then ac = bc (also a = b) c c 1. Simplify each side. 2. Use the addition property to get a variable term on one side and a constant on the other. 3. Use the multiplication property to get the variable alone. Example 1: x - 4 = 12 x = x = 16 Example 2: 2 x = 12 3 Example 3:. Addition property x = Multiplication property x = 18 2(3x + 4) + x = 3x x 6x x = 2x - 7. Simplify. 7x + 8 = 2x - 7.

28 Lesson 5.1 Polynomial Products Unit 5 Rule: The Distributive Property makes it possible to multiply two binomials in the same way a monomial is multiplied by a binomial. Examples: 1. Multiply: 2x(4x + 3) =. Monomial x Binomial. 2x. 4x + 2x. 3 =. Distribute 2x. 8x2 + 6x. Multiply. 2. Multiply: (2x + 1)(4x + 3) =. Binomial x Binomial. If a = 2x + 1, this problem becomes: a(4x + 3) =. Substitute "a" for 2x + 1. a(4x) + a(3) = 4ax + 3a In the same way, (2x + 1)(4x + 3) =. Distribute "a".. Multiply. (2x + 1)4x + (2x + 1)3 =. Distribute 2x + 1. (2x)4x + (1)4x + (2x)3 + (1)3 =. Distribute 4x and 3. 8x2 + 4x + 6x + 3 8x2 + 10x + 3 =. Multiply.. Combine like terms. Rule: The FOIL method makes multiplication easier. It suggests multiplying First terms, Outer terms, Inner terms, and Last terms. Examples: 3. Multiply: (2x + 1)(4x + 3) 2x. 4x = 8x2 2x. 3 = 6x. First terms.. Outer terms. 1. 4x = 4x. Inner terms = 3. Last terms. 8x2 + 10x + 3. Combine like terms. 22

29 Lesson Multiply: (5m - 4p)(2m + 3p) 5m. 2m = 10m2. First terms. 5m. 3p = 15mp. Outer terms. -4p. 2m = -8mp. Inner terms. -4p. 3p = -12p2. Last terms. 10m2 + 7mp - 12p2. Combine like terms. Practice: Multiply: A. (2x + 3)(3x + 4) B. (4x - 1)(4x + 1) Rule: The FOIL method may be used to square a binomial. First, write the power in expanded form, then multiply using FOIL. Example: 5. Multiply: (3x + 2)2 (3x + 2) (3x + 2). Product of two binomials. 9x2 6x 6x. F. O. I 4. L 9x2 + 12x + 4. Combine like terms. Example: A quick method of squaring a binomial: 6. Multiply: (4x - 5y)2 (4x)2 16x2 + 2(4x) (-5y) 16x2 + 2(-20xy) + (-5y)2 16x2-40xy + 25y2. Square the first term.. Double product of the two terms.. Square the last term.. Simplify each term. 23

30 Lesson 5.1 Practice: Square each binomial: C. (x + 4)2 D. (2x - 3)2 Rule: The Distributive Property allows multiplication of any two polynomials. In order, multiply the first polynomial by each term of the second polynomial. Examples: 7. Multiply: (2x - 1)(3x2-2x + 5) (2x - 1)(3x2) = 6x3-3x2. Multiply polynomial by 3x2. (2x - 1)(-2x) = -4x2 + 2x. Multiply polynomial by -2x. (2x - 1)(5) = 10x - 5. Multiply polynomial by 5. (6x3-3x2)+(-4x2+2x)+(10x-5) 6x3-7x2 + 12x Multiply: (5x + 3)(x2 + 4x - 2). Add the resulting products.. Combine like terms. (5x + 3)(x2) = 5x3 + 3x2. Multiply polynomial by x2. (5x + 3)(4x) = 20x2 + 12x. Multiply polynomial by 4x. (5x + 3)(-2) = -10x - 6. Multiply polynomial by -2. (5x3+3x2)+(20x2+12x)+(-10x-6) 5x3 + 23x2 + 2x - 6. Add the resulting products.. Combine like terms. Rule: For a simplified method of multiplying two polynomials, multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of the other polynomial; then combine like terms. Example: 9. Multiply: (5x + 3)(x2 + 4x - 2). Same as Example 8. 5x(x2) + 5x(4x) + 5x(-2) +. Multiply each term by 5x. 3(x2) + 3(4x) + 3(-2) =. Multiply each term by 3. 5x3 + 20x2 + 3x2-10x + 12x - 6 = 5x3 + 23x2-2x - 6. Simplify.. Combine like terms. 24

31 Lesson 5.1 HOMEWORK Multiply: 1. (3x + 1)(x + 2) 11. (r - 2p)2 2. (x + 4)(2x - 3) 12. (3r - 4x)2 3. (2a + 1)(3a + 5) 13. (2a - 3b)(4a + 5b) 4. (r - 3)(r + 3) 14. (2x + y)(3x - 2y) 5.

32 Lesson 5.2 Factoring x 2 + bx + c Unit 5 Rule: Multiplying two binomials often results in a trinomial. Factoring such a trinomial reverses the process to obtain the two binomials. For example, since (x + 3)(x + 4) = x2 + 7x + 12, then the factored form of x2 + 7x + 12 is (x + 3)(x + 4). Example: 1. Factor: x2 + 5x + 6 x2 + 5x + 6 = (x )(x ). Factor the first term. x2 + 5x + 6 = (x +?)(x +?) 3x. Factor the last term.. Think of the integer pairs whose product is 6: 1. 6; ; 2. 3; Select the integer pair x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3) 2x whose sum is 5: = 5. Thus, x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3). 2. Factor: x2-5x + 6 x2-5x + 6 = (x )(x ). Factor the first term. x2-5x + 6 = (x +?)(x +?) -3x. Factor the last term. Think of the integer pairs whose product is 6: 1. 6; ; 2. 3; Select the integer pair x2-5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) -2x whose sum is -5: -2 + (-3) = -5. Thus, x2-5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3). Note: When the third term is positive, (+), the two factors must have the same sign as the middle term. Example: 3. Factor: x2 + 5x - 24 x2 + 5x - 24 = (x )(x ). Factor the first term. x2 + 5x - 24 = (x +?)(x +?) -3x. Factor the last term. Think of the integer pairs whose product is -24: ; ; ; ; 8. -3; -8. 3; 6. -4; Select the integer pairs whose x2 + 5x - 24 = (x + 8)(x - 3) 8x sum is +5: 8 + (-3 )= +5. Thus, x2 + 5x - 24 = (x + 8)(x - 3). 26

33 4. Factor: x2-5x - 24 x2-5x - 24 = (x )(x ). Factor the first term. x2-5x - 24 = (x +?)(x +?) Lesson 5.2. Factor last terms. Write the integer pairs whose product is -24: ; ; ; ; 8. -3; -8. 3; 6. -4; 3x Select the integer pair whose x2-5x - 24 = (x - 8)(x + 3) -8x sum is -5: = -5. Thus, x2-5x - 24 = (x - 8)(x + 3). Note: When the third term is negative, (-), the two factors must have opposite signs, and the factor with the larger absolute value will have the same sign as the middle term. Practice: A. Factor: m2-2m - 15 HOMEWORK Factor each trinomial into two binomials: 1. x2 + 6x r2-5r a2 + 12a x2 + 10x m2 + 8m a2 - a g2 + 4g b2-5b x2-4x x2-2x r2-12r m2 + 6m n2-6n x2-12x m2 - m x2-9x a2 + 7a m2-11m x2-3x z2-12z c2 + 4c a2-6a m2 + 9m x2a + 10xa d2-15d

34 Lesson 5.3 Factoring ax 2 + bx + c and ax 2 + bxy + cy 2 Unit 5 Rule: The same trial and error process used to factor trinomials of the form x2 + bx + c (with an x2 coefficient of 1) is also used to factor trinomials in which the x2 coefficient is not 1: ax2 + bx + c, where "a" is a positive integer. Example: 1. Factor: 3x2-14x x2-14x + 15 = (3x )(x ) 3x2-14x + 15 = (3x?)(3x?) 3x2-14x + 15 = (3x - 5)(x - 3) Thus, 3x2-14x + 15 = (3x -5)(x - 3). Practice: A. Factor: 5x2-13x + 6. Factor the first term. (3 is prime, so the only possible factors are 3x and x.). Factor the last term.. Write the integer pairs whose product is 15: 15. 1; ; -9x 5. 3; Select the integer pairs whose - 5x Inner and Outer products have a sum of -14x: -5x + -9x = -14x. Rule: If the x2 coefficient is not prime, different combinations of it may also need to be tried. Example: 2. Factor: 6k2 + 11k Note negative third term. 6k2 + 11k - 10 = (6k )(k ) 6k2 + 11k - 10 = (6k?)(k?). Factor the first term. Possible factors are 6k.k or 3k. 2k. Try 6k. k first.. Factor the last term. Try (6k + 10)(k - 1) factors of -10 whose Inner and (6k - 1)(k + 10) Outer products have a sum of (6k - 5)(k + 2) 11k. None of these works. (6k - 2)(k + 5) Since the above combinations do not give a middle term of +11k and reversing the signs gives a negative middle term, try combinations using 3k and 2k as factors of 6k2. 28

35 6k2 + 11k - 10 = (3k?)(2k?) Lesson 5.3 (3k -1)(2k +10). Again, try factors of -10 whose (3k+10)(2k -1) Inner and Outer products have (3k + 5)(3k - 2) a sum of +11k. (3k - 2)(2k + 5). This combination works. So, the factorization of 6k2 + 11k - 10 is (3k - 2)(2k + 5). Practice: B. Factor: 4x2 + 4x - 15 Rule: With practice, the correct combination of factors may be found without trying every possibility. Think of all possible factors of first and last terms; the signs of the middle and last terms may eliminate half of the combinations. Example: 3. Factor: 18x2-9x - 20 Some possible factors: Middle term: (18x - 20)(x + 1) -2x (18x + 10)(x - 2) -26x (9x - 10)(2x + 2) -2x (9x + 5)(2x - 4) -26x (6x - 10)(3x + 2) -18x (6x - 20)(3x + 1) -54x (6x + 4)(3x - 5) -18x (6x + 5)(3x - 4) -9x Correct term. Although other possible factors could be tried, since -9x is the correct middle term, 18x2-9x - 20 = (6x + 5)(3x - 4). 4. Factor: 16x2 + 14x - 15 Some possible factors: Middle term: (16x - 15)(x + 1) x (16x - 1)(x + 15) 239x (16x - 5)(x + 3) 43x (16x - 3)(x + 5) 77x (8x + 15)(2x - 1) 22x (8x - 1)(2x + 15) 118x (8x - 5)(2x + 3) 14x Correct term. So, 16x2 + 14x - 15 = (8x - 15)(2x - 3). 29

36 Lesson 5.3 Rule: Factoring a polynomial with two variables is done in the same way a polynomial with one variable is factored: Factor out the GCF; then look for combinations of factors of the first and last terms that give the correct middle term. Examples: 5. Factor completely: 40r3-14r2t - 12rt2 40r3-14r2t - 12rt2 2r(20r2-7rt - 6t2). 2 and r are both common factors.. 2r is the GCF. 2r(4r )(5r ). Try 4r and 5r as factors. 2r(4r - 3t)(5r + 2t) -15rt. Try combinations of factors of -6t2: -3t and + 2t are correct.. -15rt + 8rt = -7rt, the correct middle term. + 8rt So, the complete factorization of 40r3-14r2t - 12rt2 is 2r(4r - 3t)(5r + 2t). Notice that to have a middle term with both variables, an "r" is kept with each factor of 20r2 and a "t" is kept with each factor of -6t2. 6. Factor completely: 12k2-75m2 12k2-75m2. 3 is a common factor. 3(4k2-25m2). 3 is the GCF. 3[(2k)2 - (5m)2]. 4k2-25m2 is a difference of two squares. 3(2k + 5m)(2k - 5m). A difference of two squares factors into a sum and a difference. +10km. 10km - 10km = 0; Inner and Outer products must add to km So, the complete factorization of 12k2-75m2 is 3(2k + 5m)(2k - 5m). 7. Factor completely: 405x5-80xy4 405x5-80xy4 5x(81x4-16y4) 5x[(9x2)2 - (4y2)2] 5x(9x2 + 4y2)(9x2-4y2) 5x(9x2 + 4y2)(3x+ 2y)(3x- 2y). 5 and x are common factors.. 5x is the GCF.. 81x4 and 16y4 are perfect squares.. A difference of two squares factors into a sum and a difference.. 9x2-4y2 is a difference of two squares, but 9x2 + 4y2 is not. So, the complete factorization of 405x5-80xy4 is 5x(9x2 + 4y2)(3x + y)(3x - y). 30

37 HOMEWORK Lesson 5.3 Factor each trinomial into two binomials: 1. 3x2 + 11x m2 + m x2-17x y2-8y r2 + 5r n2-13n p2 + 9p m2-15m m2 - m a - 5a2 Factor completely, if possible: 11. 3x2 + 3xy - 18y2 12. m2-4p a2 - r2 14. r2-12rx + 35x m2 + 20mp + 18p a2-16r x2-81y p2-16q k2 + 13km - 5m a2-3ab - b g2 + 4gf - 30f a2-9ab - 15b cd3-24c3d m3n + 21m2n2-9mn a3b + 7a2b2-20ab3 31

38 Lesson 5.4 Factoring Special Types Unit 5 Rules: Some polynomials have a special pattern. Recognition of this pattern makes them easier to factor. This lesson shows two of these special cases: perfect trinomial squares and the difference of two squares. Trinomials of the type a2 + 2ab + b2 or a2-2ab + b2 are called perfect trinomial squares. Factoring a perfect trinomial square gives the square of a binomial. a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 a2-2ab + b2 = (a - b)2 Examples: 1. Factor: x2 + 10x + 25 x2 + 2(5x) + 52 x2 + 2(5x) Can it be written in the a 2 + 2ab + b2 form?. First and last terms are perfect squares.. Middle term is twice the product of x and 5. (x + 5)2. Square of a binomial sum. So, x2 + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)2. 2. Factor: 9x x + 4 (3x) 2 + 2(3x)(2) (3x) 2 + 2(3x)(2) (3x + 2) 2. Answer. 3. Factor: 25x 2-30x + 9 (5x) 2-2(5x)(3) Write it in a2 + 2ab + b2 form.. First and last terms are perfect squares.. Middle term is twice the product of 3x and 2.. Rewrite. Note negative middle term. (5x - 3) 2. Answer. Note negative sign. 4. Factor: 16x 2-40xy + 25y 2 (4x) 2-2(4x)(5y) + (5y) 2. Rewrite. Note negative middle term. (4x - 5y) 2. Answer. Square of a difference. 32

39 Practice: A. x 2-14x + 49 B. 25x x + 81 Lesson 5.4 Rule: Factoring the difference of two squares gives a product of two binomials. The binomial is a sum and a difference of the square roots of the two squares: a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b) Examples: 5. Multiply: (x + 2)(x - 2). Use FOIL. x2-4. First and last products give x2-4. (x + 2) (x - 2) 2x -2x. Inner and Outer products give 2x - 2x = 0x. So, the product is a binomial, the difference of two squares: (x + 2)(x - 2) = x Factor: x Factor: x2-36y2 (x )(x ). Factor first term. (x + )(x - ). Positive. negative = negative. (x + 2)(x - 2). Square root of last term is 2. (x )(x ). Factor first term. (x + )(x - ). Positive. negative = negative. (x + 6y)(x - 6y). Square root of last term is 6y. Practice: C. Factor: 16m2-9r2 D. Factor: 1.69a2-49b2 33

40 Lesson 5.4 Factor the perfect trinomials: 1. x2-14x x2 + 16x y2-6y a2-12a x2-16x x2 + 14x x2 + 2x t2 + 18t t2-6t n2 + 4nt + t d2-10d x4 + 2x y4-10y2x + x c2 + 16c + 4 HOMEWORK 34

41 Lesson 5.4 Factor the difference of two squares: 15. x r x m x2 20. x m r n x p n r2-1.21t x t m

42 Lesson 5.5 Factoring Combined Types Unit 5 Rules: In order to factor some polynomials completely, it may be necessary to use more than one type of factoring. To factor a polynomial completely: First, factor out the GCF other than 1, if any exists. Then factor the remaining polynomial, if possible, until it factors no further. Examples: 1. Factor completely: 3x2-9x x2-9x Look for common factors. 3(x2-3x - 10). 3 is the GCF. 3(x )(x ). Factor x2-3x - 10 into two binomials, if possible. 3(x - 5)(x + 2). Try combinations of factors of -10: -5 and + 2 are correct. - 5x +2x. -5x + 2x = -3x, the correct term. So, the complete factorization of 3x2-4x - 30 is 3(x - 5)(x + 2). 2. Factor completely: 30a3 + 22a2-28a 30a3 + 22a2-28a. Look for common factors. 2a(15a2 + 11a - 14). 2a is the GCF. 2a( )( ). Factor the trinomial into two binomials, if possible. 2a(5a )(3a ). Try 5a and 3a as factors. 2a(5a + 7)(3a - 2). Try combinations of factors of -14: +7 and -2 are correct. + 21a - 10a. 21a - 10a = 11a, the correct term. So, the complete factorization of 30a3-22a2-28a is 2a(5a + 7)(3a - 2). Practice: A. Factor completely: 5r2-35r

43 Examples: 3. Factor completely: 5x3-125x 5x3-125x 5x(x2-25). Look for common factors.. 5x is the GCF. Lesson 5.5 5x( + )( - ). x2-25 factors into a sum and a difference. 5x(x + 5)(x - 5). Completely factored form. 4. Factor completely: 162-2y y4. Look for common factors. 2(81 - y4). 2 is the GCF. 2[92 - (y2)2] y4 is a difference of two squares: y4 is the square of y2. 2(9 + y2)(9 - y2). A difference of two squares factors into a sum and a difference. 2(9 + y2)(3 + y)(3 - y). 9 - y2 is a difference of two squares, but 9 + y2 is not. So, the complete factorization of 162-2y4 is 2(9 + y2)(3 + y)(3 - y). Factor completely, if possible: HOMEWORK 1. 3x2 + 15x p2-4p 2. 2a2 + 6a m3-3m2-30m 3. 5r a3 + 26a2-6a 4. 2m3-4m2-6m a3-6a 5. 2c3-3c2 - c 15. 4m2 + 7m x3-9x 16. 2k2-7k x3-2x2-40x 17. 5a3-20a 8. 3a3 + 15a2 + 12a x3-9x2-12x 9. x2-5x n3-84n2 + 39n 10. 4k3-16k2 + 12k r

44 Lesson 5.6 Factoring by Grouping Unit 5 Rule: Some polynomials may be factored by grouping two (or more) terms having a common factor and then factoring out all common factors, first from each group and then from the whole polynomial. Examples: 1. Factor: 2x + px. x is a common factor. (2 + p)x. Factored form; common factor on right. 2. Factor: 2(x + 1) + p(x + 1). (x + 1) is a common factor. (2 + p)(x + 1). Factored form; common factor on right. 3. Factor: a(x + 1) - b(x + 1). (x + 1) is a common factor. (a - b)(x + 1). Factored form; common factor on right. 4. Factor: (2x + 3)3m + (2x + 3)5r. (2x + 3) is a common factor. (2x + 3)(3m + 5r). Factored form; common factor on left. 5. Factor: (3x + 2y)2a - 7b(3x + 2y). (3x + 2y) is a common factor. (3x + 2y)(2a - 7b). Factored form; choose either side for common factor. 38

45 Practice: Factor out the common factor: A. 5(r - 3) + m(r - 3) Lesson 5.6 B. 2a(x + 7) - b(x + 7) Examples: 6. Factor: 2x px + p (2x + 2) + (px + p). Group so terms in each group have a common factor: 2 and p. 2(x + 1) + p(x + 1). Factor the GCF from each group; (x + 1) is now a common factor. (2 + p)(x + 1). (x + 1) is factored out; compare to Example 2 above. 7. Factor: 6mx + 10rx + 9m + 15r (6mx + 10rx) + (9m + 15r) 2x(3m + 5r) + 3(3m + 5r). Group terms with common factors.. Factor each group. (2x + 3)(3m + 5r). Factored form; (3m + 5r) is a common factor. 8. Factor: 6ax + 4ay - 21bx - 14by (6ax + 4ay) + (-21bx - 14by). Show addition of the groups when third term is negative. 2a(3x + 2y) - 7b(3x + 2y). Negative common factor (-7b) in second group. (2a - 7b)(3x + 2y). Factored form; common factor is (3x + 2y). Here's another way to factor 6ax + 4ay - 21bx - 14by: (6ax - 21bx) + (4ay - 14by) 3x(2a - 7b) + 2y(2a - 7b). Rearrange so third term is positive; then group.. Extract common factors from each group. (2a - 7b)(3x + 2y). Factored form; common factor is (2a - 7b). 39

46 Lesson 5.6 Practice: Factor: C. 7ax + 3ay - 7bx - 3by Rule: After factorization by grouping, be sure to check each resulting factor for any possible further factorization. Example: 9. Factor: 4a2m + 4a2-25m - 25 (4a2m + 4a2) + (-25m - 25). Write as a sum of two groups (binomials). 4a2(m + 1) - 25(m + 1). Common factors are 4a2 and -25. (4a2-25)(m + 1). (m + 1) is a common factor. (2a + 5)(2a - 5)(m + 1). 4a2-25 is a difference of two squares. Since no factor will factor further, the complete factorization of 4a2m + 4a2-25m - 25 is (2a + 5)(2a - 5)(m + 1). 40

48 Lesson 5.7 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring Unit 5 Rules: A quadratic equation is an equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0. (Notice that one member is a second degree polynomial and the other member is 0.) Zero Product Property: If x. y = 0, then either x = 0, y = 0, or both x and y are 0. If the polynomial member can be factored, then the quadratic equation may be solved by first factoring it and then applying the Zero Product Property. Example: 1. Solve: x(x + 2) = 0. The product equals 0. x = 0 or x + 2 = 0. Set each factor equal to 0. x = 0 or x = -2. Solve each equation for x. Check: x(x + 2) = 0 x(x + 2) = 0 Let x = 0. Let x = -2. 0(0 + 2) = 0-2(-2 + 2) = 0 0(2) = 0-2(0) = 0 0 = 0 0 = 0 TRUE, so 0 is a solution. TRUE, so -2 is a solution. The solutions of x(x + 2) = 0 are 0 and -2. Rule: For each quadratic, or second degree equation, two roots, or solutions, must be found. Example: 2. Solve: x2-12x + 35 = 0 (x - 7)(x - 5) = 0. Factor. x - 7= 0 or x - 5 = 0. Set each factor equal to 0. x= 7 or x = 5. Solve each equation. Check: x2-12x + 35 = 0 x2-12x + 35 = 0. Try (7) + 35= (5) + 35 = 0. Try = = 0 0= 0 0= 0 TRUE TRUE So, solutions are 7 and 5. Practice: A. Solve: x2-5x - 14 = 0 42

49 Lesson 5.7 Note: Sometimes a double root or multiple root occurs in a quadratic, cubic, or higher degree equation. The degree of an equation tells the maximum number of roots of the equation. Example: 3. Solve: 4x3-40x x = 0. Third degree (cubic) equation. 4x(x2-10x + 25) = 0. GCF is 4x. 4x(x - 5)(x - 5) = 0. Completely factored form. 4x = 0 or x - 5 = 0 or x - 5 = 0. 4 cannot equal 0. x = 0 or x = 5 or x = 5. Solve each equation and check. Solutions are 0 and 5. Notice that 5 appears twice as a root. For the cubic equation, 4x3-40x = 0, the three roots are: 0 and the double root, 5. Practice: B. Solve: 6x3 + 16x2-6x = 0 Example: 4. Solve: 15x2 + 14x - 8 = 0 (3x + 4)(5x - 2) = 0. Factor the trinomial. 3x + 4 = 0 or 5x - 2 = 0. Let each factor equal 0. 3x = -4 or 5x = 2. Solve each equation. x = -4/3 or x = 2/5. Solutions are rational. Both roots satisfy the original equation, so the solutions to 15x2 + 14x - 8 = 0 are -4/3 and 2/5. Rule: Generally, a quadratic equation is easier to solve if it is first written in standard form. A quadratic equation is in standard form when written: ax2 + bx + c = 0, where: 1. The polynomial equals Terms of the polynomial are arranged in descending powers of the variable. 3. a, b, and c, are integers, with "a" positive. Example: 5. Write 3n = 6-4n2 in standard form. Since the n2 term is negative (-4n2), make the right member 0. 4n2 + 3n = 6 4n2 + 3n - 6 = 0. Add 4n2 to each side.. Subtract 6 on each side to obtain standard form. 43

50 Lesson 5.7 Practice: Example: Write each equation in standard form: C. -5x2 + 2 = 4x D. 3 = 4a - 2a2 E. 3m = 5m Solve: 5x = 6 + x2 Since the x2 term is positive, make the left member 0. 0 = 6 + x2-5x. Subtract 5x from each side. 0 = x2-5x + 6. Arrange in descending powers of x. 0 = (x - 3)(x - 2). Factor. x - 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0. Let each factor be 0. x = 3 or x = 2. Solve each equation. Check: 5x = 6 + x2 5x = 6 + x2 Try 3. 5(3) = 6 + (3)2 5(2) = 6 + (2)2 Try = = = 15; TRUE 10 = 10; TRUE So, the solutions are 3 and 2. Practice: Write in standard form; then solve each: F. -2 = x2-3x G. 7 - x2 = 6x Example: 7. Solve: 4-9x = -2x2 2x2-9x + 4 = 0 (2x - 1)(x - 4) = 0. Factor.. Add 2x2 to each side and write in standard form. 2x - 1 = 0 or x - 4 = 0. Let each factor be 0. 2x = 1 or x = 4. Solve each equation. x = 1/2 or x = 4. Check; both equations are true. So, the solutions are 1/2 and 4. Rule: Some word problems result in a quadratic equation. The same four-step method for problem-solving is used to solve such word problems. 44

51 Lesson 5.7 Example: 8. Eight less than 6 times a number is equal to the square of the number. Find the number: 8 less than 6x is x2. Choose a variable. Let x be the number. 6x - 8 = x2 6x - 8 = x2. Plan and write an equation.. Solve. 0 = x2-6x + 8. Write in standard form. 0 = (x - 4)(x - 2). Factor. x - 4 = 0 or x - 2 = 0. Let each factor be 0. x = 4 or x = 2. Solve each equation. Check both roots in the equation. Then check them with the conditions of the original problem. The roots of this equation satisfy the conditions stated, so 4 and 2 are both solutions to the problem. HOMEWORK Use the zero product property and solve each equation by factoring: 1. a2-4a = r2-7r = 0 2. x2 + 8x - 9 = c2 + 13c - 24 = t2-13t - 10 = m2 + 5m - 42 = x2-22x + 7 = x2 + 23x + 56 = a2-11a + 5 = r3-245r = x2-400 = g3 - g2-20g = 0 Solve each equation: 13. x2 + 8 = -6x 18. 8y + y = x2 = -3x 19. 8x = 21-5x2 15. x2 = 9x 20. 9x + x2 = x2 = x 21. 4m = -m x - 6x2 = x - 14 = -6x2 Write an equation; then solve each problem: 23. Five times a number, decreased by 6, is the same as the square of the number. Find the number. 24. The sum of 6 times a number and the square of the number is 16. Find the number. 25. Twelve less than 9 times a number is the same as the square of the number increased by two. Find the number. 45

52 Lesson 5.8 Consecutive Integer Problems Unit 5 Rule: Consecutive integers are obtained by starting with a given integer and counting by one's. Examples: List four consecutive integers beginning with: 1. 3 : 3, 4, 5, : -2, -1, 0, 1 3. x: x, x+1, x+2, x+3 Practice: List four consecutive integers beginning with: A. 19 : B. -7 : C. m : Rule: Even integers are divisible by 2. Consecutive even integers are obtained by starting with an even integer and counting by two's. Consecutive odd integers are not divisible by 2 but are also obtained by counting by two's starting with an odd integer. Examples: List four consecutive even integers beginning with: 4. 6: 6, 8, 10, 12. Add 2 each time : -4, -2, 0, 2. Notice: Zero is even. 6. x: x, x+2, x+4, x+6. If x is even. List four consecutive odd integers beginning with: : 11, 13, 15, 17. Add 2 each time : -1, 1, 3, 5. Add 2 each time. 9. x : x, x+2, x+4, x+6. If x is odd. 46

53 Lesson 5.8 Practice: List: D. 3 consecutive even integers, beginning with -28. E. 3 consecutive odd integers, beginning with c. F. 3 consecutive even integers, beginning with m. Rule: A consecutive integer problem may be solved using the four basic steps of problem solving. Example: 10. Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 66. Let x = the first Let x + 1 = the second Let x + 2 = the third. Choose a variable; then represent the integers. x + x x + 2 = 66. Plan and write an equation.. 3x + 3 = 66 3x = 63 x = 21 x + 1 = 22 x + 2 = 23. Solve the equation.. First integer.. Second integer.. Third integer = 66. Check: The roots of the equation satisfy the original problem. So, the solution is: 21, 22, 23. Rule: It is necessary to check the roots of an equation to see that they satisfy the conditions of the original problem. Consecutive integer problems may result in equations that give two sets of roots; however, one, none, or both sets of roots may be a solution to the problem. 47

54 Lesson 5.8 Examples: 11. Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 195. Let x = first Let x + 2 = second. Choose a variable; then represent each integer. x(x + 2) = 195 x2 + 2x = 195. Plan and write the equation.. Solve the equation; quadratic may have 2 solutions. x2 + 2x = 0 Rewrite in standard form. (x - 13)(x + 15) = 0 Factor. x - 13 = 0 or x + 15 = 0 Let each factor be 0. x = 13 or x = -15 First integer: 13 or -15. x + 2 = 15 or x + 2 = -13 Second integer: 15 or -13. (13)(15) = 195. Check both pairs of (-15)(-13) (-15)(-13) = 195 consecutive odd integers. So, there are two solutions: 13 and 15; -15 and Find three consecutive even integers such that the square of the second decreased by 5 times the square of the first is 16 less than twice the third. Let x = first Let x + 2 = second Let x + 4 = third. Choose a variable; then represent each integer. (x+2)2-5x2 = 2(x+4) Plan and write the equation.. Solve the equation: x2 + 4x + 4-5x2 = 2x x2 + 4x + 4 = 2x - 8 Simplify each side. -4x2 + 2x + 12 = 0 Add -2x and 8 to each side. 2x2 - x - 6 = 0 Divide each side by -2. (2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 Factor. 2x + 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 Let each factor be 0. 2x = -3 or x = 2 Solve each equation. x = -3/2 or x = 2-3/2 is not an integer.. Check: Only these three consecutive Try: x = 2 = First x + 2 = 4 = Second even integers satisfy the x + 4 = 6 = Third problem. So, there is only one solution: 2, 4, and 6. 48

55 Lesson 5.8 HOMEWORK Write an equation and solve each problem: 1. Find three consecutive integers whose sum is Find three consecutive integers whose sum is Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is Find five consecutive integers such that four times the third, increased by 15, is 5 times the last. 6. Find four consecutive odd integers such that the first equals the product of the second and fourth. 7. Find two consecutive even integers whose product is Find two consecutive odd integers such that the square of the second, increased by the first is Find two consecutive even integers such that twice the square of the second increased by the first is Find two consecutive integers such that the sum of their squares is Find four consecutive integers such that the difference of the squares of the second and fourth is Find three consecutive odd integers such that the square of the third decreased by the square of the first is 8 times the second. 13. Find three consecutive integers such that the square of the first is 15 less than the square of the second. 14. Find three consecutive even integers such that the product of the first and third is two more than 5 times the second. 15. Find four consecutive odd integers such that the square of the sum of the first and fourth equals the square of the sum of the second and third. 49

60 Lesson 6.1 Rational Expressions Unit 6 Rule: A rational expression is of the form a where "a" and "b" are polynomials. b A rational expression a is undefined (or meaningless) for b any value of the variable which makes b = 0. Example: 1. Recall 16 = 8, a unique number, 2 because only 8. 2 = 16. But 16 = no unique number because 0 (no number). (0) = 16. And 0 = no unique number because 0 (any number). (0) = 0. Rule: To find the value(s) of the variable for which a rational expression is undefined, set the denominator equal to 0 and solve the resulting equation. Examples: 2. For what value of x is x - 4 undefined? 3x - 6 3x - 6 = 0. Set the denominator equal to 0 3x = 6 and solve for x. x = 2. This value of x makes the denominator equal to 0. Thus, the fraction is undefined when x = 2. 54
