What is the first step when you are going to factor an expression?

• Check to see if it has a GCF

• Count the number of terms

• Count the number of factors

• Check to see if it has a conjugate

Do not use google. _{(I will check)}

Define the following: FACTORING.

Check ALL problems that have a GCF.

• 12 + 9x

• 4+ 3x

• 90x⁴ + 9x² - 3x

• 18a⁴c³ - 30a³c - a²c

What is the GCF for the expression?

12+9x

What is the GCF for the expression?

8m⁴+ 16m⁶ - 80m⁷

Do not use google. _{(I will check)}

Define the following: FACTORS.

Factor the expression.

x² - 16

• (x+4)(x-4)

• (x+4i)(x-4i)

• (x+4)(x+4)

• (x+4)²

• x+4

Factor the expression

4x² + 20x + 25

• (5x+2)(5x+2)

• (5x+2)²

• (2x+5)²

• (2x-5)(2x+5)
