Factoring Polynomials by Greatest Common Factor

What is the factored form of 2a³-2a²

• 2a²(a)

• 2a(2a²-a)

• 2a²(a-1)

• 2a²(a+1)

What is the greatest common factor of the monomials a²b⁵ and a³b³

• a²b³

• a²b⁵

• a³b³

• a³b⁵

What is the GCF of 10a²b³ and 20a²b²?

• 20a²b³

• 10a²b³

• 20ab²

• 10a²b²

Factor using GCF or monomial factoring:

w³ + 3w

• 3w(1)

• w(w² + 3)

• w³(w + 3)

What is the first step in factoring common monomials?

• Divide the given polynomials to the GCF.

• Find the GCF of the coefficient and variable.

• Multiply the exponents.

• Add the coefficient and exponents.

Factor 8x³ + 18x.

• 2x(4x² + 9)

• 8x(x² + 10)

• 2(4x³ + 9x)

• 8(x³ + 10x)

Factor:
80x⁵-70x²-60x⁷

• 2x²(80x³-70-60x⁶)

• 10x²(80x⁴-70x-60x⁶)

• 10x²(8x³-7-6x⁶)

• 3x²(80x³-40-60x⁵)

Factor using G.C.F. 2x⁴y - 10x²

• 2x²(x²y - 5)

• 2x(x³y - 5x)

• 2(x⁴y - 5x²)

• x²(2x²y - 5)
