Factoring Mind Map

Factoring polynomials involves determining the type of polynomial and applying specific methods to simplify it. For trinomials, when the leading coefficient is one, the polynomial can be factored into the product of two binomials.

Factoring Mind Map

Factoring

Take out the greatest common factor

What kind of polynomial is in the problem?
4-term polynomial

Factor by Grouping

Trinomial

Is the leading coefficient =1?

Factor ax^2+bx+c as the product of 2 binomials

Split the Middle Term

Guess and Check

x^2+bx+c=(x+m)(x+n), such that m+n=b and m*n=c

Binomial

Difference of Squares [a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)]
