Factoring Polynomials

Factor the expression:

 $b^2+6b\ +5$  

• (b+1)(b-5)

• b(b-1)

• (b+2)(b+3)

• (b+5)(b+1)

factor the GCF:

 $5g^3-10g$  

•  $5g\left(g^2-2\right)$  

•  $5\left(g^3-g\right)$  

•  $g^3\left(5-x\right)$  

 $g^2-5g+6$  

• (g-2)(g+3)

• (g-2)(g-3)

• (g+3)(g-2)

• g(g-5)

Factor the GCF:

 $8h^4+12h^3-20h^2$  

•  $8\left(h^4+2h^3-3h^2\right)$  

•  $8h^2\left(h^2+2h-3\right)$  

•  $4h^2\left(2h^2+3h-5\right)$  

factor completely:

 $k^2-1k-12$  

• (k+2)(k-6)

• (k+3)(k-4)

• (k-3)(k+4)

• (k-2)(k+6)
