In this lesson, you will extend your knowledge of transforming quadratic expressions from standard form into factored form. You will continue factoring with expressions that can be rewritten as products of a sum and a difference, .
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Explain how the numbers and signs in a quadratic expression in factored form relate to the numbers and signs in an equivalent expression in standard form.
- Write an equivalent expression in factored form, given a quadratic expression in standard form with a negative constant term.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
- 8.7.1: Understanding Sums and Products of Integers
- 8.7.2: Interpreting Negative Constant Terms When Factoring Quadratic Expressions
- 8.7.2: Self Check
- 8.7.2: Additional Resources
- 8.7.3: Analyzing Factors of 100 and –100
- 8.7.3: Self Check
- 8.7.3: Additional Resources
- 8.7.4: Finding the Missing Terms
After that, you’ll practice and review.
- 8.7.5: Practice
- 8.7.6: Lesson Summary
