Factoring 𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
𝑥 2 + 11𝑥 + 30 𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 25 𝑥 2 + 7𝑥 − 18 𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 − 18
When factoring always look for a common factor first. Remember to
include the common factor as part of the answer. As check,
multiply out the factored form should always give the original
polynomial

Factor Step 1: Multiply AC, 𝑎 × 𝑐 = 𝑎𝑐
a c 8 3 = −24
8𝑥 2 − 10𝑥 − 3 Step 2: Find the factors of 24 whose sum is -10
Since all terms are 𝟐 −𝟏𝟐 = −𝟐𝟒 ac

Factoring a𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 where 𝑎 ≠ 1 Factor
1. Factor out Greatest Common Factor
7𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 1
2. Find the product of 𝒂𝒄
3. Find two integers whose product is 𝒂𝒄
and whose sum is b.
4. Rewrite the middle term bx , as sum or
difference using the factors found in ste
5. Factor by Grouping
◦ Both integers must be positive if b and c are
positive
◦ Both integers must be negative if c is positive and b
is negative
◦ One integer must be positive and one must be
negative if c is negative.

first. Remember to include
the common factor as part
of the answer. As check,
multiply out the factored
form should always give
