Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
The perfect square trinomial is a polynomial that can be factored using a special formula. In standard form, the first and last terms of a perfect square trinomial are always perfect squares. The middle term is always the product of the square roots...

Multiply a Binomial by a Monomial
A practical problem demonstrating multiplication of a binomial by a monomial.
Variables and the Greatest Common Factor
To factor completely, the greatest common factor must include every number and variable that is a factor of each term in the polynomial. A demonstration of how variables can be a part of the greatest common factor.
Solve: x2 - 8x 16 = 0
Practice solving a quadratic equation: x2 8x 16 = 0. Because this equation has two identical binomial factors, it has a single solution called a double root.
Solve: 12x2 7x - 10 = 0
Solving a quadratic equation in which the trinomial has a leading coefficient other than one.
