Factoring and Multiplying Polynomial Review

Factor
x² + 9x - 36

• (x + 12)(x - 3)
• (x + 9)(x - 4)
• (x - 12)(x + 3)
• (x - 9)(x - 4)

Factor
n² + 16n + 63

• (n-7)(n+4)
• (n+7)(n-9)
• (n-3)(n-10)
• (n+7)(n+9)

What is the first question you ask yourself when factoring a polynomial? 

• How many terms does it have? 
• Is there a GCF? 
• What strategy should I use? 
• Why do I have to learn this?!?!?!

Factor
81m² - 1 

• not factorable
• (m-9)(m+9)
• 9m(9m-1)
• (9m-1)(9m+1)
