Factor GCF

A. Solve 9y 2 + 3y = 0. 9y 2 + 3y = 0 3y(3y) + 3y(1) = 0 3y(3y + 1) = 0 3y = 0 3y + 1 = 0 y=0 Answer: Original equation Factor the GCF. Distributive Property Zero Product Property Solve each equation.

Factor GCF

B. Solve 5a2 20a = 0.

5a 2 20a = 0
5a(a) 5a(4) = 0 5a(5a 4) = 0

Original equation
Factor the GCF. Distributive Property

5a = 0
a=0

a4=0
a=4

Zero Product Property

Perfect Squares and Differences of Squares

B. Solve y 2 = 36.

y 2 = 36
y2 36 = 0 y2 (6)2 = 0

Original equation
Subtract 36 from each side. Write in the form a2 b2.

(y + 6)(y 6) = 0
y+6=0 y = 6 Answer: 6, 6 y6=0 y=6

Factor the difference of squares.

Zero Product Property Solve each equation.

D. 8

Factor Trinomials

A. Solve x 2 2x 15 = 0.

ac = 15

a = 1, c = 15

Factor Trinomials

5x 2 + 34x + 24 = 0 5x2 + mx + px + 24 = 0 5x 2 + 4x + 30x + 24 = 0 (5x 2 + 4x) + (30x + 24) = 0 x(5x + 4) + 6(x + 4) = 0 (x + 6)(5x + 4) = 0 x+6=0 x = 6 5x + 4 = 0

Original equation Write the pattern. m = 4 and p = 30 Group terms with common factors. Factor the GCF from each grouping. Distributive Property Zero Product Property Solve each equation.

Solve Equations by Factoring

ARCHITECTURE The entrance to an office building is an arch in the shape of a parabola whose vertex is the height of the arch. The height of the arch is given by h = 9 x 2, where x is the horizontal distance from the center of the arch. Both h and x are measured in feet. How wide is the arch at ground level? To find the width of the arch at ground level, find the distance between the two zeros.

Solve Equations by Factoring

9 x2 = 0 x2 9 = 0 (x + 3)(x 3) = 0 x + 3 = 0 or x 3 = 0 x = 3 x= 3

Original expression Multiply both sides by 1. Difference of squares Zero Product Property Solve.

Answer: The distance between 3 and 3 is 3 (3) or 6 feet.
