Factoring Polynomials with Slide, Divide, and Bottom's Up

What is the first step in factoring polynomials when 'a' is greater than 1?

• Slide

• Bottoms Up

• Factor

• Divide

What do we multiply by 'a' in the Slide step?

• Both 'b' and 'c' values

• None of the above

• The 'c' value

• The 'b' value

What does the 'Slide' step involve?

• Adding 'a' to 'c'

• Sliding 'a' to the 'b' position

• Multiplying 'a' with 'c'

• Dividing 'a' by 'c'
