Greatest Common
Factor The greatest
common factor between 2
numbers is the largest
factor that they have in
common. Ex.
Factors of 9: 3,6,9 Factors
of 12: 3,6,9,12 the
greatest common factor
they have is 9
Difference of two
squares is a squared
(multiplied by itself)
number subtracted from
another squared number.
Every difference of
squares may be factored
according to the identity
Ex. 16a
2
- 36a
2

A perfect square
trinomial is looking for
compatible factors that
would fit in the last term
when multiplied and in the
second term if
added/subtracted
Ex.x
2
+8x +4
Sum and difference of
two cube there is a
special case when
multiplying polynomials
that produces this: a
3
- b

A quadratic trinomial
contains an x
2
term as well as
an x term. For example, x
2

6x + 8 is a quadratic
trinomial. You can factor
quadratic trinomials by using
the FOIL method in reverse

Square of the binomial is
equal to the sum of the
squares of the two terms
and twice the product of
the terms The square of a
binomial is always a
trinomial Ex. (x + 4)
2
A trinomial that is the
square of a binomial is
called a Squares of
trinomial. Trinomial that
are perfect squares factor
into either the square of a
sum or the square of a
difference .Ex. x
2
+ 2x + 1
When distributing
binomials over other
terms, knowing how to
find the sum and
difference of the same
two terms is a handy
shortcut Ex. (x + 5)(x 5)
A cubed binomial (sum)
is equal to the cube of the
first, plus three times the
square of the first by the
second, plus three times
the first by the square of
the second, plus the cube
of the second. Ex. (x + 3)

Multiplying Polynomials
It's an expression of
variables and constants
combined using addition,
subtraction, multiplication,
and division Ex. (4x
5)(2x
2
+ 3x 6)




"Domino"
I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm 'bout to explode

I can taste the tension like a
cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm
running cause you're taking
me there
Don't you know? You spin me
out of control

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love is skin tight
Baby, come on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Boom me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Rock my world until the
sunlight
Make this dream the best I've
ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a
domino

Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let
me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a
domino

You got me losing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strum me like a guitar

I can taste the tension like a
cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm
running cause you're taking
me there
Don't you know? You spin me
out of control

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love is skin tight
Baby, come on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Boom me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Rock my world until the
sunlight
Make this dream the best I've
ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a
domino

Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let
me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a
domino

Ooh, baby, baby, got me
feeling so right
Ooh, baby, baby, dancing in
the moonlight
Ooh, baby, baby, got me
feeling so right
Ooh, baby, baby, dancing in
the moonlight
Ooh, baby, baby, got me
feeling so right
Ooh, baby, baby, dancing in
the moonlight
Ooh, baby, baby, got me
feeling so right
Ooh, baby, baby

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Rock my world until the
sunlight
Make this dream the best I've
ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a
domino

Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let
me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a
domino
