Overview:

Previously in this video series, students used area diagrams to expand expressions of the form (x + p)(x + q) and generalized that the expanded expressions take the form of x2 + (p + q)x + pq. In this video lesson, they see that the same generalization can be applied when the factored expression contains a sum and a difference (when p or q is negative) or two differences (when both p and q are negative).

Students transition from thinking about rectangular diagrams concretely, in terms of area, to thinking about them more abstractly, as a way to organize the terms in each factor. They also learn to use the terms standard form and factored form. When classifying quadratic expressions by their form, students refine their language and thinking about quadratic expressions (MP6).

6. Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

a. Factor quadratic expressions with leading coefficients of one, and use the factored form to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.

b. Use the vertex form of a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value and the axis of symmetry of the function it defines; complete the square to find the vertex form of quadratics with a leading coefficient of one.
