To factor by grouping, place the 4 terms in the box: 2c2+8c+3c+12 +3c ? 2c2 +8c +12 ? Type the GCF of each row and column Factor: +3c 2c2 2c2+8c+3c+12 c +8c +12 +3 2c Factor: +3c 2c2 c +12 +8c +4 2c2+8c+3c+12 (2c2+8c)(3c+12) (2c+3)(c+4) 2c2+8c+3c+12 Factored is: There are many ways to split +11c. Use the chart to show a few terms that simplify to +11c: This trinomial can be factored by grouping IF you split +11c into two terms. Factor: 2c2+8c+3c+12 +8c +6c +7c 2c2+11c+12 +3c ? +4c ? +5c ? = = = 11c 11c 11c Why was +8c+3c selected? Click OK Factor: 2c2+8c+3c+12 +8c +6c +7c 2c2+11c+12 +3c +4c +5c = = = +11c +11c +11c 11c was split into +8c and +3c because the only way you can factor by grouping... 2c2+8c+3c+12 2c2+11c+12 Is to have the product of the outside terms equal the product of the inside terms The only way you can factor by grouping is if the product of the equals the product of the Which polynomial will factor by grouping? 9x+4x 6x+5x 3x2 +6x+5x +10 3x2 +9x+4x +10 outside terms inside terms The only way you can factor by grouping is if the product of the equals the product of the Which polynomial will factor by grouping? 9x+4x 6x+5x 4x2 +8x+5x +10 4x2 +7x+7x +10 outside terms inside terms Which polynomial will factor by grouping? 9x+4x 6x+5x outside 3x2 +3x+8x +10 3x2 +9x+4x +12 inside terms Product terms Which polynomial will factor by grouping? 9x+4x 6x+5x outside 2x2 +6x+3x +9 2x2 +9x+4x +9 inside terms Product terms "Rainbow" Factoring multiplies the 2 outside terms to split the middle term. 2c2 +7c +6 What factor pair of Click OK Has a sum of 12 Factor Pairs 1 12 * * * 4 2c2 +7c +6 What factor pair of Has a sum of 12 Which factor pair of 12 has a sum of 7?
