Key Terms
- difference of squares pattern
- If a and b are real numbers,
- factoring
- Factoring is splitting a product into factors; in other words, it is the reverse process of multiplying.
- greatest common factor
- The greatest common factor is the largest expression that is a factor of two or more expressions is the greatest common factor (GCF).
- perfect square trinomials pattern
- If a and b are real numbers,
- prime polynomials
- Polynomials that cannot be factored are prime polynomials.
- quadratic equations
- are equations in which the variable is squared.
- sum and difference of cubes pattern
- Zero Product Property
- The Zero Product Property states that, if the product of two quantities is zero, at least one of the quantities is zero.
