5.4 Notes Part 2 Video

We typically use factoring by grouping for a polynomial with how many terms?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Where did the x² + 3 factor come from in this problem?

• It is made up of the two GCFs.

• It is made up of what was left from factoring out the GCFS out of each binomial.

• It was made up.

Why did we factor out a negative nine instead of a positive nine?

• Because the first term in the second half of the problem was being subtracted.

• Just to mix things up a little bit.

• Because the last term in the problem was negative.
