NOTES
TERM DEFINITIONS
• A trinomial is only said to be a perfect square if;
• Trinomial - an algebraic
expression that has three non-
zero terms and has more than
one variable in the expression
• You can factor a perfect square with these steps;
Example 7x2 – 9x + 6
• Factoring – is the reverse
process of finding a
product
• Perfect Square Trinomial
- is a trinomial that can be
written as the square of a
binomial.
-Example: 4x2 -16x + 16
• The greatest common factor
(GCF) of a set of numbers is the
largest factor that all the
numbers share
- Example: 12, 20, 24
GCF = 4
- The first and last terms are both perfect squares
- The middle term is the twice the product of the
square roots of the 1st and 3rd terms
- The sign of the last term is always positive
- Square the 1st and last term
- Copy the sign of the middle term
Example:
x2 + 10x + 25
= (x + 5)2
Determining the missing term to make a trinomial
a perfect square;
~ 1st/Last Term ~
- Divide the middle term by 2
- Find the square root of the 1st/3rd term
- Divide the result of the 1st step to result of the
2nd step
- Square the result of step 3
~ Middle Term ~
- Find the square root of the 1st term
- Find the square root of the 3rd term
- Multiply the result of the 1st step to the 2nd step
- Double the result of the 3rd step

REFLECTION
- For this week’s lesson we mostly learned about perfect square trinomials. A perfect square
trinomial is a trinomial that when factored, it will give you the square of a binomial. Also,
factoring is the process of finding a product but reversed. I think that this lesson was a little
bit difficult for me to grasp at the first time but then eventually got to understand it better,
this is because it had many steps involved especially since I believe my mind was still
adjusting to the brand-new school year; Nevertheless, I still consider this lesson as a
success since I eventually got the hang of it plus I think that this was a great refresher for my
mind since it involved past lessons from the last school year.
