Pre-Test Factoring Polynomials

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF

• List all the terms

• Make the X and fill in the top and bottom

• Multiply a and c

Factor out the GCF:
12x + 6

• 6(2x + 1)
• 3(4x + 2)
• 6x(2x + 1)
• 2(6x + 3)

Factor out the GCF:
10x³ - 15x

• x(10x² - 15)

• 5x²(10x - 3)

Factor:
x² - 5x - 14

• (x - 2)(x + 3)
• (x - 2)(x + 7)
• (x + 2)(x - 7)
• (x - 2)(x - 3)
