Factoring Out a Group

Factor by grouping:

4p³ + 8p² + 3p + 6

• (2p²+3)(p+2)

• (2p²+6)(p+4)

• (4p²+3)(p+2)

• (4p²+8p)(3p+6)

Factor by grouping:
x³+7x²-2x-14

• (x²-2)(x-7)

• (x²+2)(x-7)

• (x²+2)(x+7)

• (x²-2)(x+7)

Factor 5x² -13x - 6

• Make 2 groups and factor out the GCF from each group.

  5x( x - 3) + 2(x - 3)

• The 2 numbers are -15 and 2, so use these to break up -13x.

  5x² -15x + 2x + 6

• First, find 2 numbers that multiply to -30 and add to -13.

  a⋅c = 5⋅-6 = -30

  b = -13

• Write the binomial factors.

  (5x + 2)(x - 3)

What 2 numbers should go in the blanks instead of the "bx" term?

• The 2 numbers that multiply to 8 and add to -7, which are 8 and -1.

• The 2 numbers that multiply to -8 and add to -7, which are -8 and -1.

• The 2 numbers that multiply to -8 and add to -7, which are -8 and 1.
