Factoring

What is the first question you ask yourself when factoring a polynomial? 

• How many terms does it have? 

• Is there a GCF? 

• What strategy should I use? 

• Why do I have to learn this?!?!?!

Factor
v² - 6v + 9

• (v-3)²

• (v-6)²

• (v-9)(v+6)

• not factorable

Factor Completely: 2x² + x - 6

• (x + 2) (2x -3)

• (x - 6) (2x + 1)

• (x + 1) (2x - 6)

• (x - 2) (2x + 3)

Factor completely.
