Lesson 2: Factoring Using the Greatest Common Factor
Not startedRun expanding in reverse: find the greatest common factor, move it outside a bracket, and expand to check that the factorization is correct and complete.
About 40 minutes
Lesson 3: Factoring Quadratic Expressions: x² + bx + c
Not startedFactor trinomials like x² + 9x + 20 by finding two integers whose sum is b and product is c — and recognize when no such pair exists.
About 40 minutes
Lesson 4: Factoring Quadratic Expressions: ax² + bx + c
Not startedUse the ac method, split the middle term, and factor by grouping. Take out a GCF first when needed, then expand to check.
About 40 minutes
Lesson 5: Factoring Quadratic Expressions: Special Cases
Not startedTest special patterns, factor out a GCF first, and check your factors by expanding.
