In a common monomial factoring, what do you call the factor that consists of the GCF of the numerical coefficient and the least exponent of the component variable?

Click the types of factoring methods used in Algebra

• Sum of Two Squares

• Sum of Two Cubes

• Common Monomial Factor

• Perfect Square Trinomial

• Difference of Two Cubes

Which of the following trinomials is considered a Perfect Square Trinomial

Which of the following statements is FALSE about Perfect Square Trinomial?

• The first term and the last terms of the trinomial are perfect squares.

• The middle term of the perfect square trinomial is twice the product of the square roots of the first and last term

When factoring trinomials by grouping, after you multiply the "a" and the "c" term and identify the "b" term, use these 2 values as clues to find:

• 2 numbers that subtract to "a" times "c" and add to "b"

• 2 numbers that divide to "a" times "c" and add to "b"

• 2 numbers that sum to "a" times "c" and subtract to "b"

• 2 numbers that multiply to "a" times "c" and add to "b"

Factor Completely:  3n² - 15n + 18

• (n - 2)(n - 3)

• 3(n + 2)(n + 3)

• (3n - 9)(n - 2)

• 3(n - 3)(n - 2)

Factor Completely:  6x² + 5x - 6

• (6x + 6)(x - 1)

• (2x - 3)(3x + 2)

• (3x - 2)(2x + 3)

Factor:
 4h² - 17h + 4
