Definitions
• Factoring by grouping- a method of factoring that uses the distributive property to remove a common binomial factor of two pairs of terms
• Monomial- a real number, a variable, or a product of a real number and one or more variables with whole-number exponents

Definitons
• Perfect square trinomial- any trinomial of the form a² + 2ab + b² or a² - 2ab + b²
• Polynomial- a monomial of the sum or difference of two or more monomials. A quotient with a variable in the denominator is not a polynomial

Degree of monomial
• The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of its variables only.
• The degree of a nonzero constant is 0.– Zero means it has no degree

Essential Understanding
• There are special rules you can use to simplify the square of a binomial or the product of a sum and difference.
• Squares of binomials have two forms:– (a + b)²– (a – b)²

The Square of a Binomial
• The square of a binomial is the square o the first term plus twice the product of the two terms plus the square of the last term.
• (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²• (a – b)² = a² -2ab + b²
![Page 30: Chapter 8 Polynomials and Factoring. Definitions Binomial- a polynomial of two terms Degree of polynomial- the greatest value of exponent of any term](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/5697c0241a28abf838cd46f8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
• Any trinomial of the form a² + 2ab + b² is a perfect square trinomial because it is the result of squaring a binomial.
• For example let a,b be real numbers:– (a + b)² = (a + b)(a + b) = a² + 2ab + b²– (a - b)² = (a - b)(a - b) = a² - 2ab + b²

Factoring Polynomials
1. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF)2. If the polynomial has two terms or three
terms, look for a difference of two squares, a perfect square trinomial or a pair of binomial factors
3. If the polynomial has four or more terms, group terms and factor to find common binomial factors.
4. As a final check, make sure there are no common factors other than 1
