Vocabulary

• Factor = A number or expression that is multiplied by another number or expression to get a product.

• Term = a part of an expression that is added or subtracted

• Binomial = 2 terms• Trinomial = 3 terms

Back to Problem

Rules & Strategies• Since there are three terms in this trinomial you use the “Diamond Method”• Diamond Method Formula : ax² + bx + c• Make an “X” on your paper.• On the top intersect write a multiplication sign (x) to show that the two

denominators multiply to equal the number you're going to get above the multiplication sign.

• On the bottom intersect write a plus sign (+) to show that the two denominators added together equal the number you’re going to get below the addition sign.

• Plug the value for “c” above the multiplication sign ( +24 )• Plug in the value for “b” below the addition sign ( -11 )• Now , think of two numbers that multiplied equal +24 and added equal -11 . • ( You should come up with -3 and -8 )• Lastly , you rewrite your fractions as binomials : 1x = ( x – 3 ) -3

• Reduce = lower in degree• Lowest term = the form of a fraction after

dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

Back to Problem

Rules & Strategies

• First you should ask yourself which strategy is best to change the equation into a dividable state using either; Greatest common facture (GCF), difference of 2 squares, or one of the diamond methods.

• In this case the best one would be the diamond method on both the denominator and numerator.

• Once you find the factors of both of the trinomials reduce by dividing the like terms.
