GUIDE CARD
Hi everyone! I am Domingo, a Grade 8
student like you. While going home I
saw my dad worrying about his farm.
He doesn’t know what kind of
vegetable he will plant that will gave
more profit. In order to help him,
please go with me in the farm here in
Pangasinan to overcome the following
challenges:
TOPIC: FACTORING
(M8AL – Ia –b – 1),(M8AL – Ib – 2)
Determine whether the expression is
polynomial or not
Determine whether the algebraic
expression is a perfect square trinomial
Give the factor of perfect square trinomial
GUIDE CARD
First you must know if the expression is a
polynomial or non polynomial.
But….How?
By giving the definition and examples on
polynomials.
Polynomials are algebraic expressions that are created by
combining numbers and variables using arithmetic operations
such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and
exponentiation. You can create a polynomial by adding or
subtracting terms. Polynomials are very useful in applications
from science and engineering to business. You may see a
resemblance between expressions, which we have been
studying in this course, and polynomials. Polynomials are a
special sub-group of mathematical expressions and equations.
GUIDE CARD
Take a look of
some examples:
Based on the examples we can say that:
These are not polynomials
3xy-2 is not, because the exponent is "-2" (exponents can only be 0,1,2,...)
2/(x+2) is not, because dividing by a variable is not allowed
1/x is not either
√x is not, because the exponent is "½" (fractional exponents)
But these are allowed:
x/2 is allowed, because you can divide by a constant
also 3x/8 for the same reason
√2 is allowed, because it is a constant (= 1.4142...etc)
GUIDE CARD
Now, you already know if the expression is
polynomial or not. Next, you will know the
different steps on factoring a perfect square
trinomial.
Come and let’s
start the
adventure!
Do you still remember the square of
binomial?
¿ ¿
Use FOIL Methods to derive formula:
¿
F = First term multiplied by First term
O = Outer Term multiplied by Outer Term
I = Inner Term multiplied by Inner Term
(a+b =(a+b)(a+b)
L= Last Term Multiplied by Last Term
First Term
F = (a)(a) =
(a+b =(a+b)(a+b)
Outer Term
O = (a)(b)= ab
(a+b=(a+b)(a+b)
Inner Term
(a+b =(a+b)(a+b)
I = (b)(a)= ab
Last Term
L = (b)(b) =
+ ab + ab +
First Term + Outer Term + Inner Term + Last Term

Perfect square Trinomial is
What is perfect square trinomial? the result of squaring
binomial
Therefore, or is a PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL!!!
The square of binomial, consists of : 3 terms
1st term Middle Term Last Term
2ab
- 2ab
Let’s try another example.
𝟐 FIRST TERM = a
(𝟐 𝒙 + 𝟐 ) LAST TERM = b
Derived Formula
𝟐
(𝟐 𝒙 + 𝟐 )
LAST TERM = b
FIRST TERM = a
SUBSTITUTE the given value in
the derived formula
FIRST TERM = a =2x
LAST TERM = b = 2
FIRST TERM
2(2x)(2)= 8x MIDDLE TERM
= (2)(2)=4
= LAST TERM
Let’s try another example.
𝟐 FIRST TERM = a
(𝟐 𝒙 − 𝟐 ) LAST TERM = b
Derived Formula
𝟐
(𝟐 𝒙 − 𝟐 )
LAST TERM = b
FIRST TERM = a
SUBSTITUTE the given value in
the derived formula
FIRST TERM = a =2x
LAST TERM = b = 2
FIRST TERM
-2(2x)(2)= -8x MIDDLE TERM
= (2)(2)=4
= LAST TERM

How do we easily identify if the given expression
is a Perfect Square Trinomial or not?
A PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL has FIRST TERM and LAST TERMS which are
PERFECT SQUARE and the MIDDLE TERM is twice the product of the square root of
FIRST TERM and LAST TERM.
MIDDLE LAST
FIRST TERM
TERM TERM
Example:
= =x
= =2
MIDDLE TERM = 2(x)(2)=4x
and 4 is a PERFECT SQUARE
4x is 2(x)(2)
or (x+2)(x+2)

Example:

MIDDLE TERM = -2(3x)(2)=-12x
9 and 4 is a PERFECT SQUARE
-12x is -2(3x)(2)
or (3x-2)(3x-2)

Hi friends, did you know that FACTORING
is the process by which one tries to make
a mathematical expressions look like a
multiplication problem looking for factors.
You did a great Job. Thank you so much.
