Solve Each Polynomial by Factoring

Factoring Polynomials

A review on factoring GCF from polynomials and factoring trinomials/quadratics with the diamond method.

Fill in the Blank

Factor the GCF:  $$16p^4+4p^3$$

Fill in the Blank

Factor the GCF:  $$9x+36$$  

Fill in the Blank

Factor the GCF from the polynomial:  $$14a+21a^2+21a^3$$

• This video covers the diamond method and explains a different way to arrive to the final answer. IF you didn't know how to write the final answer before with my method, please use his way.

• Make sure you're taking notes, quiz in next problems.
