Factoring Polynomials Review

What is the greatest common factor of 8 and 12 ?

• 8

• 12

• 2

• 4

Factor completely:

16x² - 20xy

• 4 (4x² - 5xy)

• 4x (4x - 5y)

• 4x² (4 - 5y)

• 2(duck)

When factoring a polynomial, the first thing you should do is:

• Look for a common factor that is common to all the terms.

• Group the terms

• Multiply the b and the c

• Look for a perfect square.
