MC 5.2 - Factoring By Grouping Alg 2 V1

What is the GCF of 28ab and 42b?

• 4b

• 6b

• 7b

• 14b

Factor the Polynomial

12x³ - 9x² + 4x - 3

• (3x² + 1) (4x - 3)

• (3x² - 1) (4x + 3)

• (4x² + 1) (3x - 3)

• (4x² - 1) (3x + 3)

What is ALWAYS the first step when factoring?

• Look for the GCF

• Write a, b, and c

• Difference of squares

• Group

• 1

• 6

• 2

• 3

What is a factor?
