Trinomial Notes

Trinomial notes is a polynomial with three monomial terms. In trinomial notes, sum of three monomials is said to be  trinomial. For example, 2x5 – 3x2 + 3 is a trinomial . An Algebraic expression of the form axn is called a monomial in x, The sum of two monomials is called a binomial and the sum of three monomials is called a trinomial.  sum of the finite number of a monomials in term x is called a polynomial of x.

How To Factor trinomial Notes:

Example 1:
Factor   trinomial notes x² + 3x − 10.

Solution.
The binomial factors will have this form:
(x   a)(x   b)
What are the factors of 10?  Let us take that they are 2 and 5:

x² + 3x − 10 = (x   2)(x   5).

We have to know how to choose the signs so that,  coefficient for middle term  will be sum of the outers plus the inners -- will be +3.                                  Choose factors , +5 and −2.

=  x² + 3x − 10

= (x − 2)(x + 5)
When 1 is the coefficient for x², the order of  factors it does not matter.

(x − 2)(x + 5) = (x + 5) (x − 2) are same factors.

Example Problems In trinomial notes:

Example 1:
Find factors for trinomial notes x² − x − 12.

Solution:
We must finding factors for 12 whose algebraic sum will be  coefficient of x is −1.
Choose −4 and + 3:
x² − x − 12 = (x − 4 )(x + 3). are facors

Example 2:

Find factors for trinomial notes    x2 + 5xy + 4y2
Solution:
x2+5xy+4y2

=x2+xy+4xy+4y2

=x(x+y)+4y(x+y)

=(x+y)(x+4y)

Example 3:

Find factors for trinomial notes    2a2 - 7ab + 6b2
Solution:
2a2-7ab+6b2
=2a2-3ab-4ab+6b2

=a(2a-3b)-2b(2a+3b)

=(2a-3b)(a-2b)

Example 4:

Find factors for trinomial notes 4x2 - 13xy + 3y2
Solution:
4x2-13xy+3y2
=4x2-xy-12xy+3y2

=x(4x-y)-3y(4x-y)

=(4x-y)(x-3y)
