What method should you use to factor the polynomial?

x² - 36

• Factor by Grouping

• Factor out the GCF

• Difference of Squares

• Difference of 2 Cubes

What method should you use to factor the polynomial?

• Sum of 2 Cubes

• Factor out the GCF

• Difference of Squares

To factor x^2-10x-24, which of the following factors of-24 must be chosen in the process?

Add or Subtract to Simplify:
(4x²+ x) - (x²+ 2x)

• 3x² - x

• 4x² + 2x

• 3x² + 3x

• 3x² + 2x

Subtract the polynomials. (2x + 5y) - (3x - 2y)

• -x + 3y

• -x + 7y

• 5x + 7y

• 7xy + 1xy

(3x + 4y - 3z) - (2x - 6y + 7z)

• x + 10y - 10z

• -x +10y - 10z

• x -10y - 10z

• -x -10y - 10z

Find the difference. 
(3- 2x + 2x²) - (4x -5 +3x²)

• x_² + 6x + 8

• 2x² + 5x - 7

• -x² -6x + 8

• -2x² + 11x - 4

Add or Subtract to Simplify:
(5x + x² - 4) - (4x - x² + 6)

• 2x² + x + 2 

• x + 2

• 2x² + x - 10 

• x - 10
