Polynomials in Factor Form

What is the factored form of 2a³-2a²

• 2a²(a)

• 2a(2a²-a)

• 2a²(a-1)

• 2a²(a+1)

Why do we need to find the GCF of polynomials? Choose the BEST option.

• Because Ms. Rice said so

• To simplify the polynomials as much as possible before working with them

• To get rid of stuff

• Because the GCF makes the problem impossible to solve

Write 4x³ +2x²-6x in factored form.

• 2x(2x-3)(x+1)

• 4x(2x+3)(x-1)

• 2x(2x+3)(x-1)

• 4x(2x-3)(x+1)

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
