Steps to factoring:
1. Find 2 #’s that MULTIPLY to the constant term and COMBINE to the linear term
2. Write as two binomials.
3. Check your answer (FOIL)
1. x2 – 14x - 32 2. x2 + 5x – 36 3. x2 +7x +30
2. A SPECIAL TRINOMIAL - Perfect Square Trinomials:

We can summarize this pattern:
a2 + 2ab + b2 =(a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)2
a2 - 2ab + b2 =(a - b)(a - b) = (a - b)2
3. A SPECIAL BINOMIAL - Difference of two squares:

Day 3 Notes: Using the Zero Product Property
The Goal: Learn and apply the zero product property to solve a quadratic equation
The Reason: Once you factor, you are now in INTERCEPT form. You can now find your x-intercepts and graph in INTERCEPT form (instead of standard form)
Key Ideas About SOLUTIONS to Quadratic Equations
· Quadratics can have 0, 1, or 2 REAL solutions.
· The REAL solution is the x-coordinate where the parabola crosses/touches the x-axis.
· The y-coordinate of ANY point on the x-axis is 0, so…….
to find solutions, we set our quadratic = 0.
We've solved quadratics using the SQUARE ROOT METHOD…
1. Solve: x2 – 10 = 0
2. Solve: (x – 6)2 = 4
BUT WHAT IF… the equation is in the form:
We can solve the quadratic by factoring and using the zero product property.
Zero Product Property: If the product of two expressions equals zero then one or both of the expressions gives us a zero. If A·B = 0, then either A = 0 or B = 0
We can apply this concept to quadratic equations to find the solutions:
Ifx2 – 6x + 5 = 0
Notice that the
FACTORS and the SOLUTIONS switch signs!
(x – 1)(x – 5) = 0
Then either (x – 1) = 0 or (x – 5) = 0
Therefore x = _____ or x = ______ (Graph this to check the intercepts)
Find the solutions of the given polynomial by FACTORING.
x2 - 16x + 48 = 0
x2 – 4 = 0
x2 + x – 12 = 0
4x2 + 7x – 2 = 0
5x2 + 20x = 0
x2 + 6x + 9 = 0
x2 – 81 = 0
x2 – 5x = 36
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS means:
Finding SOLUTIONS = Finding X-INTERCEPTS = Finding ROOTS = Finding ZEROS

Day 4 Notes – Completing the Square
The Goal: To learn ANOTHER method of solving quadratics to use when we can’t factorThe Reason: Once you CTS, you now have a quadratic in VERTEX form. You can now graph using the vertex form (instead of the standard form) and you can solve by the square root method.
Review:
Factor the following perfect square trinomials.
1. x2 + 6x + 92. x2 + 10x + 253. x2 – 8x + 16
4. x2 – 18x + 81 5. x2 + 4x + 4
Try to figure out what the last term will be in order to create a perfect square trinomial:
5. x2 + 12x + _______6. x2 – 14x + _______
7. x2 - 10x + _______8. x2 + 22x + _______
9. How did you determine what the last term would be?
Dealing with perfect square trinomials is NICE!!!!! Our next method takes advantage of this and FORCES quadratics into being a perfect square trinomial.
Background for Completing the Square – Making a perfect square trinomial
Trinomial = ax2 + bx + c Constant term (or c) =
Perfect Square TrinomialSquare of a Binomial
1. x2 + 18x + c c = ____= (x + )2
2. x2 − 2x + c c = ____= (x − )2
Solve a quadratic equation by taking a square root: x2 + 20x + 100 = 81
Write the trinomial as a binomial squared,
then solve by the square root method:
What if you don’t have a perfect square trinomial?...
Steps to Solving Quadratics by COMPLETING THE SQUARE
1. Move the constant to one side of the equation
2. Calculate the “c” needed to complete the square
3. Add this value to BOTH sides of the equation
4. Rewrite your trinomial as a perfect binomial squared
5. Use the square root method to solve the equation
Solve by completing the square:
x2 – 10x + 1 = 0 x2 – 4x + 8 = 0
Solve by Completing the Square when a1
Divide each side (every term) by the leading coefficient (coefficient of x2)
3x2 – 36x + 150 = 0 2x2 - 24x + 22 = 0
Write a quadratic function in Vertex Form y = a(x – h)2 + k
y = x2 + 18x + 22

Day 5 Notes – The Quadratic Formula
The Goal: To learn a new method of solving quadratics – the quadratic formula.The Reason: So that we can solve a quadratic equation even if it doesn’t factor and it is in standard form.
Standard Form: y = ax2+ bx + c
Part 1: The Discriminant – is the radicand of the quadratic formula.
We can quickly tell whether a quadratic has 0, 1, or 2 real solutions using the discriminant
1. f(x) = x2 – 2x2. f(x) = –x2 + 2x
a = ______ b = ______ c = ______a = ______ b = ______ c = ______
Now calculate: (b)2 – 4(a)(c) = ________Now calculate: (b)2 – 4(a)(c) = ________
3. f(x) =–x2 + 2x - 14. F(x) = x2 – 2x + 2
a = ______ b = ______ c = ______a = ______ b = ______ c = ______
Now calculate: (b)2 – 4(a)(c) = ________Now calculate: (b)2 – 4(a)(c) = ________
Observations: What type of a number do you get for (b)2 – 4(a)(c) regarding the number of real solutions?

Day 8: Notes – Solving SYSTEMS of Equations
The Goal: To solve SYSTEMS of equations (more than one equation at a time)
The Reason: To find where two functions intersect. These are the ordered pairs that satisfy each equation.
Facts to remember –
When you are solving ONE equation your solutions are the X-INTERCEPTS.
When you are solving a SYSTEM of equations your solutions are the POINTS Of INTERSECTION. Write your answers as (x, y).
The easiest way to solve a system of equations will always be graphing, but this is not always accurate.
When graphing, the solutions to a system of equations are the points of intersection!
1. 2.
Graph the following systems of equations. The solution is the set of all ordered pairs that are intersections of the two functions.
Ask yourself what KINDS of functions you have in your system….
1. 2.
We can also solve systems algebraically by substitution.
Steps:
1. Solve one of the equations for a variable.
2. Substitute the expression into the other equation.
3. Solve the equation.
4. Substitute the value found into one of the equations. Solve for the remaining variable.
5. Name the point (x, y).
Solve by substitution and Graph to verify your solution.
1. y = x2 + 6x + 12. y = x2 - 2x - 1
y = -2x – 14y = - x2 + 4x - 1
