If a trinomial, ax² +or- bx + c, has a positive "c" value, what do you know about the signs in its binomial factors?

• Both signs are positive.
• Both signs are negative. 
• One sign is positive and one is negative.
• The signs are the same, both + or both -

If a trinomial, ax² + bx + c, has a negative "c" value, what do you know about the signs in its binomial factors.

• The signs are both +. 
• The signs are one + and one -
• The signs are both -

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF
• List all the terms
• Make a triangle
• Write the answer

Factor 4b⁵+4b³+16b²
