MODULE 1: PATTERNS AND ALGEBRA
Have you ever wondered how the architect of your school came up with its structure? Is the
structure of your school the same as before? How is it possible for school buildings to be constructed
without tearing down the old structures to preserve its historical essence? Or maybe, did you ever
think why your school needs to be remodeled this way?
What essential skills did the architect use in designing your school structure? What were the
preparations made and the tools which were used? How many revisions could have been
made in the initial plan until the desired structure was attained?
In this module, you will discover how important it is to plan well and utilize essential
mathematical skills to be able to accomplish several tasks and come up with the desired output.
As you go through this module, think of this question: How can unknown quantities in
geometric problems be solved?

Lesson 1.1: COMMON MONOMIAL FACTORING
BIG IDEA Common monomial factoring is the process of writing a polynomial

as a product of two polynomials, one of which is a monomial that factors each term
of the polynomial.
When two or more numbers are multiplied, the result is a single number. Factoring is the reverse
process. In factoring, we begin with a single number and express it as a product of two or more numbers.
For example, the product of 7 and 4 is 28. So, factoring 28, we get 28 = 7 ∙ 4
If factors are not integers, then every number has infinitely many factors. For example, 8 is not only 2 ∙
1
4 and 8 ∙ 1, but also 24 ∙ and 2.5 ∙ 3.2. For this reason, all factoring is over the set of integers.
3
COMMON MONOMIAL FACTORING

Every expression has itself and the number 1 as a factor. These are called trivial factors. If a monomial
is the product of two or more variables or numbers, then it will have factors other than itself and 1.
Example 1
Factor 3 y 2 +6 y +9.
SOLUTION:
STEP 1.
Find the GCF of 3 y 2 ,6 y ∧9.
STEP 2.
Rewrite each term as a product using the GCF.
STEP 3.
Factor the GCF
STEP 4.
Check by multiplying
The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more monomials is the product of the
greatest common factor of the coefficients and the greatest common factors of the
variables.
Example 2
Factor 6 xy 2 +18 y .
SOLUTION:
STEP 1.
Find the GCF of 6 xy 2∧18 y .
STEP 2.
Rewrite each term as a product using the GCF.

solutions if necessary. Maintain the cleanliness and neatness of your paper.

Solving word problems involving special products and factoring
We are going to apply the techniques learned in the previous lessons to solve word problems involving high
– degree equations.
Example 1
The product of two consecutive integers is 272. Find the value of each integers.
SOLUTION:
The first thing you need to do is to define the integers.
Let n be the first integer

Let n+1 be the second integer.
The product means to multiply so we need to multiply the two integers together.
( First integer )( Second integers )=272 n ( n+1 ) =272
Now multiply everything out and set it equal to zero.

n ( n+1 ) =272
n2 +n=272
n2 +n−272=272−272
n2 +n−272=0
Now you need to factor and solve.
( n+17 )( n−16 ) =0
n+17=0 n−16=0
n=−17 n=16
Now we need to go back and answer the questions using each answer.
If n=−17 then the 2nd integer is n+1=−17+1=−16 so the two integers are −17∧16.
If n=16 then the 2nd integer is n+1=16+1=17 so the two integers are 17∧16.
