At the endof the lesson, you
should be able to:
▪ determine patterns in factoring
polynomials; and
▪ factor perfect square trinomials and
general trinomials completely.
Perfect Square Trinomialare
algebraic expressions with three
terms that are created by
multiplying a binomial to itself.
*Recognizing when you have these perfect square trinomials
will make factoring them much simpler.
To factor aperfect square
trinomial,
1. Examine whether the first term
and last term are perfect squares.
2. Look at the middle term. Check
whether it is twice the product of
the square root of the first term
and last term.

To factor aperfect square
trinomial,
3. If conditions 1 and 2 were satisfied
then, the expression is a perfect
square trinomial.
4. Factor completely the given
trinomial following the pattern .
Similarly,
Seatwork on a½ sheet of
paper.
“Sir ½ ? Opo, ½ .”
“Sir seatwork? Opo,
seatwork.”
