Factoring a trinomial twice first with the GCF

What is the first step in factoring an expression?

• Adding all terms together

• Finding the greatest common factor

• Subtracting the smallest term

• Multiplying all terms by 2

What common factor is identified in the expression discussed?

• 3X^2

• 2A

• 9Y^2

• 5Z

After factoring out 9Y^2, what is the resulting expression?

• Y^2 - 6Y + 5

• Y^2 + 6Y - 5

• Y^2 - 5Y + 6

• Y^2 + 5Y - 6

What are the two binomials that the expression is rewritten into?

• (Y - 6)(Y + 1)

• (Y + 5)(Y + 1)

• (Y + 6)(Y - 1)

• (Y - 5)(Y - 1)

What condition must the two binomials satisfy?

• Multiply to give 5 and add to give -6

• Multiply to give 6 and add to give 5

• Multiply to give -5 and add to give 6

• Multiply to give -6 and add to give 5
