Factoring Quadratic Expressions WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: Algebra I, IM 1
CCSS: HSA.SSE.B.3
CCSS Description: Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.★ a. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines. b. Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines. c. Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%
Factoring Quadratic Expressions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Factoring Quadratic Expressions is for learners that can already factor and are ready for a challenge. There are 36 questions in total across two sections and an extension.
Throughout section A, learners will need to manipulate the expressions before factoring by combining like terms, or expanding a set of parentheses and simplifying. Expressions to be factored include those with a coefficient of x squared greater than 1.
Then in section B , students will factor using the difference of two squares. The section again progresses to include expressions which need to be manipulated before being factored. This can involve taking out a factor before the difference of two squares can be used.
