Since there are three terms in this trinomial you use the “Diamond Method”
Diamond Method Formula : ax² + bx + c
Make an “X” on your paper.
On the top intersect write a multiplication sign (x) to show that the two
denominators multiply to equal the number you're going to get above the
multiplication sign.
On the bottom intersect write a plus sign (+) to show that the two
denominators added together equal the number you’re going to get below the
addition sign.
Plug the value for “c” above the multiplication sign ( +24 )
Plug in the value for “b” below the addition sign ( -11 )
Now , think of two numbers that multiplied equal +24 and added equal -11 .
( You should come up with -3 and -8 )
Lastly , you rewrite your fractions as binomials : 1x = ( x – 3 )

• First you should ask yourself which strategy is
best to change the equation into a dividable state
using either; Greatest common facture (GCF),
difference of 2 squares, or one of the diamond
methods.
• In this case the best one would be the diamond
method on both the denominator and numerator.
• Once you find the factors of both of the
trinomials reduce by dividing the like terms.

Since there are two different fractions in parenthesis and both the numerators and
denominators are binomials you use “Area Method”
Area method is when you draw out a rectangle and divide it into 4 quadrants (4 squares)
Then, you put one binomial on the left side written out like this:
• Next, you put the other binomial adjacent
(next to) the fraction on top of the rectangle
• Then you multiply each term to each other and
Place each number in a square (label them 1, 2, 3, and 4)
• Write out numbers 1 and 4 into an expression as the first and
last terms : 2x² + 15
• Now, since numbers 2 and 3 are like terms combine them and put
them in between 2x² and +15 : 2x² +7x +15
• Repeat this process to the other binomial and place the expression
underneath 2x² +7x +15 .

Height-The perpendicular distance from any vertex of a triangle to the side
opposite that vertex. Also called altitude. Sometimes the height is determined
OUTSIDE of the triangle.
Base:The side of a triangle to which an altitude is drawn. the base and the altitude
will be used to find the area
area-A = 1/2(bh), where b is the length of the base, and h is the length of the
altitude. A = Square root [s(sa)(sb)(sc)], where s is the semiperimeter and a, b, and
c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
triangle-a three-sided polygon
Altitude-segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the line containing
the opposite side.
