Check for perfect squares.

Multiply the terms.

When the polynomial is a trinomial.

When the polynomial has four terms.

When the polynomial is a perfect square.

The constant term.

The same term left over in the parentheses.

The highest degree term.

The middle term.

A polynomial with three terms.

A polynomial with a GCF.

A polynomial in the form of a quadratic equation.

A polynomial with four terms.

By identifying the GCF.

By solving the polynomial equation.

By recognizing and factoring perfect squares.

By using the quadratic formula.

(a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)

(a - b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)

(a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)

(a + b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)

(a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)

(a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)

(a + b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)

(a - b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)

To factor the polynomial.

To determine the roots of the polynomial.

To simplify the polynomial.

To find the GCF of the polynomial.
