    The document provides steps to factor quadratic expressions of the form x^2 + bx + c by finding two integers whose sum is b and product is c. These integers are used to write the expression as the product of two binomials using the pattern (x + p)(x + q). It then works through factoring the expressions 6x^2 + 7x - 3 and 2x^2 +9x - 5 as examples.

    Factor x2 + 5x + 6 If x2 + bx + c, then there are two integers, p and q, whose sum is b and product is c. x2 + bx + c (x + p)(x + q) 1. p + q = pq= 2.

    . Find the values of p and q: p= q=

    3. Write using the pattern:

    EXAMPLES: 1.) x2 +12x + 27 2.) x2 - 9x + 14

    Factor 6x2 + 7x - 3 If ax2 + bx + c, then there are two integers, m and n, whose sum is b and product is ac. ax2 + bx + c ax2 + mx + nx + c 1. ac = b=

    Find two numbers that multiply to be ac and add to be b:

    2. Split the Middle Write the pattern:

    3. Group the terms with common factors:

    4. Factor the GCF of each group:

    5. Use the distributive property:

    EXAMPLES: 1.) 2x2 +9x - 5 2.) 3x2 2x + 21
