Factoring Out Gcf Finding Factors

Factor out the GCF

3x³ + 9x

• 3x (x² + 3)

• 3x ( x³ + 9)

• x (3x² + 9)

• 3x (x³ + 3x)

Find the factors of

x² + x - 6

• (x - 6)(x - 9)

• (x + 3)(x + 2)

• (x + 3)(x - 2)

• (x + 2)(x + 4)

Find the factors of

x² - 5x - 36

• (x + 4)(x - 9)

• (x - 4)(x + 9)

• (x - 9)(x + 6)

• (x + 4)(x + 9)

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• List all the terms

• Make a triangle

• Write the answer

Factor
10x² + 15x-5

• 25(10x³+45x-15)

• 5(2x³ + 3x²-x)

• x(10x³+15x-5)

• 5(2x²+3x-1)
