What is the GREATEST COMMON FACTOR (GCF)?

Back

The GCF is the largest factor that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.

Front

How do you find the GCF of algebraic expressions?

Back

1. Factor each term of the expression. 2. Identify the common factors. 3. Multiply the common factors to find the GCF.

Front

Factor the expression: 14x^5 + 2x^3 - 32x^2

Back

2x^2(7x^3 + x - 16) - GCF is 2x^2.

Front

What is the factored form of x^2 + 11x + 24?

Back

(x + 8)(x + 3) - This is a quadratic trinomial.

Front

How do you factor a quadratic expression of the form x^2 + bx + c?

Back

Look for two numbers that multiply to c and add to b.

Front

Factor the expression: x^2 + 5x - 24

Back

(x + 8)(x - 3) - This is a quadratic trinomial.

Front

What is the difference of squares?

Back

The difference of squares is a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).

Front

Factor the expression: x^2 - 25

Back

(x + 5)(x - 5) - This is an example of the difference of squares.

Front

What is a prime polynomial?

Back

A prime polynomial cannot be factored into simpler polynomials with integer coefficients.

Front

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

Back

The standard form is ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.
