Introduction: Factor Trinomials
In this section we will introduce factoring methods that will allow you to factor trinomials, which are algebraic expressions with, you guessed it, three terms. The specific things you'll learn in this section include:- Identify the greatest common factor of a polynomial
- Factor a trinomial with leading coefficient = [latex]1[/latex]
- Factor a trinomial with leading coefficient [latex]\ne1[/latex]
The learning activities for this outcome include:
