Introduction to Factoring GCF from Polynomials

3x³ + 9x² - 15x 

• x(3x² + 9x - 15) 

• 3x(x² + 3x - 5)

• 3x(x² - 9x + 15) 

• x(3x² -9x + 15) 

Factor by using GCF:

8n³ + 2n²

• 2n²(4n-1)

• 2n²(4n + 1)

• n²(8n+2)

• 3n(4n+1)

Factor by using GCF:

4b⁵+4b³+16b²

• 4b³(b⁴+b²+4b)

• 4b³(b⁴+4b+5)

• 4(b⁵+b³+4b²)

• 4b²(b³+b+4)

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF

• List all the terms

• Make a triangle

• Write the answer

Factor using GCF

18a²-15a

• 15a(3a-1)

• 3a(6a-1)

• 3(6a-5)

• 3a(6a-5)

Factor using GCF

12x + 9

• 3(4x + 3)

• x(12+9)

• 3(4x - 3)

• not factorable
