Factoring Polynomials by GCF and A=1

What is the GCF?
15x + 27

• 3

• 5

• 9

• 2

Whenever you are factoring

ANY polynomial,

what do you ALWAYS do first?

• Look for a GCF and take it out

• Use XBox Method

• Use Factor By Grouping

• Cry

Select all the polynomials that can be factored using the XBox method

AFTER THE GCF IS TAKEN OUT

• Linear

• Quadratic

• Cubic

• Quartic

• Any Degree Polynomial
