Factoring Trinomials

What is the first step of the slide-divide-slide method of factoring?

• slide to multiply the a and c values

• do the electric slide

• factor out the GCF

• divide the a and c terms

Factor (Easy Trinomial)
a² - a - 12

• (a - 4)(a + 3)

• (a + 6)(a - 4)

• (a - 6)(a + 4)

• (a + 4)(a - 3)

Factor (Easy Trinomial)
n² + 16n + 63

• (n-7)(n+4)

• (n+7)(n-9)

• (n-3)(n-10)

• (n+7)(n+9)

Factor: (Easy Trinomial)
x² - 15x + 36

• (x - 18)(x + 2)

• (x - 12)(x - 3)

• (x - 12)(x + 3)

• (x + 18)(x - 2)

Rewrite the trinomial in factored form

x² - 5x - 36

• (x - 4)(x + 9)

• (x - 6)(x + 6)

• (x + 4)(x - 9)

• (x -12)(x + 3)
