Factoring Polynomials with GCF Easy

Factor (GCF):
18a² - 15a

• 15a (3a - 1)

• 3a (6a - 1)

• 3 (6a - 5)

• 3a (6a - 5)

Factor:
12x + 9

• 3 (4x + 3)

• x (12+9)

• 3 (4x - 3)

• Prime

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

• How many terms does it have?

• Is there a GCF?

• Have I completed all of my Algebra assignments this nine weeks?

• How long is this going to take?!?!?!

Factor 8x³ + 18x.

• 2x(4x² + 9)

• 8x(x² + 10)

• 2(4x³ + 9x)

• 8(x³ + 10x)

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF

• List all the terms

• Make a triangle

• Write the answer

Factor by GCF:
10x² + 15x - 5

• 25(10x³+45x-15)

• 5(2x³ + 3x²-x)

• x(10x³+15x-5)

• 5(2x²+3x-1)

Factor
10x² + 15x-5

• 25(10x³+45x-15)

• 5(2x³ + 3x²-x)

• x(10x³+15x-5)

• 5(2x²+3x-1)

Factor the expression:

4p⁵+4p-12

• 2p(2p⁵+2p-6)

• 4(4p⁵+4p-12)

• 4(p⁶+p-3)

• 4(p⁵+p-3)

Factor completely 2x³+4x²+8x

• 2x(x² +2x + 4)

• 2x(x² -2x + 4)

• 2x(x² + 2x + 8)

• 2x³ + 4x² + 8x
