Forms (aka formulas):
Formula:
FOIL:
(A+B)(C+D) = AC + AD + BC + BD
Perfect Square
Binomial:
A2 + 2AB + B2 = (A + B)2
A2 - 2AB + B2 = (A – B)2
Difference of
Squares:
A2 – B2 = (A + B)(A – B)
Sum and
Difference of
Cubes:
A3 + B3 = (A + B)(A2 – AB + B2)
A3 - B3 = (A - B)(A2 + AB + B2)
Write an Example:
Factor the following sums and differences of cubes:
Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Quadratic Equation:
Standard Form Quadratic Equation:
The Zero Product Principle:
To Solve a Quadratic Equation:
1. Add/Subtract and Balance, and Combine Like Terms to put into Standard
Form
2. Factor the Polynomial
3. Apply the Zero Product Property
4. Solve the resulting equations. Write solutions in the form x = {a, b}
5. Check your solution
Solve the following Quadratic Equations:
“Applications” of Quadratic Equations
For each of the following statements, translate into math (draw a diagram if you
can) and solve.
Find two consecutive integers whose
The sum of two numbers is 9. The sum
product is 45 more than three times the of their squares is 101. What are the
larger integer.
two numbers?
The width of a rectangle is 8 in. less
than the length. If the area of the
rectangle is 33 sq in., what are the
dimensions of the rectangles?
The base of a triangle is 3 in. shorter
than the height. Find the base and the
height if the area of the triangle is 13
sq. cm.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is
13mm. The longer leg is 2 mm longer
than twice the shorter leg. Find the
lengths of the two legs.
The height of an object projected
upward from a 480-ft-tall building is
given by h = -16t2 + 112t + 480. When will
the object hit the ground?
