Productoa Notables Y Factorizacion Flashcards
(25 cards)
What is the definition of ‘productos notables’?
Productos notables are special products that can be easily calculated using specific algebraic formulas.
True or False: The square of a binomial can be expressed using the formula (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².
True
Fill in the blank: The difference of squares can be expressed as a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
What is the formula for the product of a sum and a difference?
The product of a sum and a difference is given by (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b².
What do you call the process of breaking down an expression into its factors?
Factoring
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a notable product? A) (x + 1)² B) x + 1 C) x² + 1 D) x - 1
(x + 1)²
True or False: The product (a + b)² can also be written as a² + b².
False
Fill in the blank: The formula for the cube of a binomial is (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
What are the coefficients in the expansion of (a + b)²?
1, 2, 1
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is the correct factorization of x² + 5x + 6? A) (x + 2)(x + 3) B) (x + 1)(x + 6) C) (x + 3)(x + 2) D) Both A and C
Both A and C
What is the result of factoring the expression x² - 9?
(x + 3)(x - 3)
True or False: The expression 4x² - 16 can be factored as 4(x - 4)(x + 4).
False
Fill in the blank: The expression a³ - b³ can be factored as (a - b)(a² + ab + b²).
a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
What is the formula for factoring the sum of cubes?
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is not a notable product? A) (x + 3)² B) (x - 3)(x + 3) C) (x + 2)(x - 2) D) x + 2
x + 2
What do you call the expression obtained after factoring a polynomial?
Factors
True or False: The expression x² + 4 is factorable over the real numbers.
False
Fill in the blank: The expression a² + 2ab + b² can be factored as __________.
(a + b)²
What is the first step in factoring a polynomial?
Look for a greatest common factor (GCF).
Multiple Choice: Which of the following expressions can be factored using the difference of squares? A) x² + 1 B) x² - 1 C) x² + 4 C) x² - 4
x² - 1 and x² - 4
True or False: All quadratic equations can be factored.
False
Fill in the blank: The expression x² + 6x + 9 can be factored as __________.
(x + 3)²
What is the relationship between factoring and solving quadratic equations?
Factoring can be used to find the roots of quadratic equations.
What is the ‘zero product property’?
If the product of two factors is zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
