Factor Polynomials GCF Trinomial Difference of Squares

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Check for GCF

• List all the terms

• Make a triangle

• Write the answer

Factor
v² - 6v + 9

• (v-3)²

• (v-6)²

• (v-9)(v+6)

• not factorable

What is the GCF? 5x²+20x

• 5

• x

• 5x

• 20x

Factor: 8r³ + 16r²

• 4r²(2r + 4)

• 8r²(r + 2)

• 8(r³ + r²)

• 4(r³ + 2r²)

Factor: w³ + 3w

• 3w(1)

• w(w² + 3)

• w³(w + 3)

Factor:
x² - 9

• (x + 3)(x - 3)

• (x + 3)²

• (x - 3)²

• (x+3)(x+3)

Factor Completely: 4x² - 20x + 25

• (4x - 25) (x -1)

• (2x + 5) (2x - 5)

• (2x - 5)²

• (4x - 5) (x - 5)

Factor the GCF
4b⁵+4b³+16b²

• 4b³(b⁴+b²+4b)

• 4b³(b⁴+4b+5)

• 4(b⁵+b³+4b²)

• 4b²(b³+b+4)
