Algebra 2 Factoring

Factor completely

p³ - 3p² - 16p + 48

• p² ( p - 3) (p - 3)

• (p² - 16) (p - 3)

• (p + 4) (p - 4) (p - 3)

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?!?!?!
