Factorization of Polynomials
Objective: Converting a polynomial into the product of its factors.
Method Example
(a) Extracting common factors x2 – 9x = x(x – 9)
x2 – 9 = x2 – 32
(b) Using the identity x – y (x + y)(x – y)
2 2
= (x + 3)(x – 3)
(c) Using the identities
(i) x2 + 2xy + y2 (x + y)2 x2 + 4x + 4 = x2 + 2(x)(2) + 22
= (x + 2)2
(ii) x2 – 2xy + y2 (x – y)2 9x2 – 6x + 1 = (3x)2 – 2(3x)(1) + 12
= (3x – 1)2
x +1
‒2x +x = x
