How to factor perfect square quadratics?
There are three sets of factoring perfect square quadratics worksheets.
- Factor Perfect Squares Quadratics.
- Factor Perfect Squares Quadratics (GCF).
- Factor Perfect Squares Quadratics (two variables)
A perfect square quadratic is a quadratic expression that can be factored into the square of a binomial. The general form of a perfect square quadratic is a² + 2ab + b², where a and b are any real numbers.
To factor a perfect square quadratic, you can follow these steps:
- Identify the perfect squares in the expression.
- Confirm that the middle term is twice the product of ab.
- Write the factored form as (a + b)².
Example: Factor the expression x² + 6x + 9
- Identify the perfect squares. In this case, the perfect squares are x² and 3².
- Confirm that the middle term is twice the product of ab: 6x = 2(3x).
- Write the factored form as (x + 3)².
However, not all quadratic expressions are perfect square quadratics. For example, the expression x² + 9x + 25 is not a perfect square quadratic because the middle term is not twice the product of ab.
