2. Lesson 8.1 WarmUp:
Find each product.
1) (a ­ 4)2
2) (2x + 3)2
3) (3y ­ 4)(3y + 4)
Solve each system of equations. (You can use graphing, substitution or
elimination.)
4) 8x + 2y = 13
4x + y = 11
5) y = 2x + 3
y ­ 4x = ­1

3. Lesson 8.1:
*factored form ­ when a monomial is expressed as a product of prime
numbers and variables, and no variable has an exponent greater
than 1
ex­­> ­20x3y2 in factored form would be:
*greatest common factor (GCF) ­ the greatest number that is a factor
of 2 or more numbers (or monomials)
