Factoring Review

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF
• List all the terms
• Make a triangle
• Write the answer

Which binomials are a difference (subtraction) of two squares?
I. 6a²-25
II. 4x²+16
III. b²-9
IV. 49y²-64

• I only
• III only
• III and IV
• II, III, and IV
