​Factoring by Grouping.

​

Multiple Choice

Factor completely

•   $$\left(1+3m\right)\left(m^2-8\right)$$  

• $$-1\left(m^2+8\right)\left(-3m+1\right)$$   

• $$\left(9n-1\right)\left(n-3\right)\left(n+3\right)$$  

•   $$\left(-m^2-8\right)\left(-3m+1\right)$$  

Multiple Choice

Factor completely.

• $$\left(9n-1\right)\left(n^2-9\right)$$  

• $$\left(9n-1\right)\left(n-3\right)^2$$  

• $$\left(9n-1\right)\left(n-3\right)\left(n+3\right)$$  

• $$9\left(n-9\right)\left(n+1\right)$$  

• Factoring by grouping is a step.
