Factoring out your GCF

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions using the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). It begins by identifying the GCF in given terms and proceeds to demonstrate the factoring process. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of simplifying expressions by dividing each term by the GCF, resulting in a simplified product form. The final expression is presented as a product of the simplified terms and the GCF.

What is the first step in the factoring process according to the video?

• Guessing the factors

• Factoring out the GCF

• Simplifying the expression

• Multiplying the terms

What common factor is identified in the terms during the video?

• A factor of 9

• A factor of 12

• A factor of 6

• A factor of 3

How is the GCF determined in the video?

• By subtracting the terms

• By identifying the highest powers of variables

• By adding the coefficients

• By multiplying the terms

What is the GCF identified in the video?

• 9a^2b

• 12a^2b

• 6a^2b

• 3a^2b

What is the final expression after factoring out the GCF?

• AB + 3 * 6a^2b

• AB + 3 * 9a^2b

• AB - 3 * 6a^2b

• AB - 3 * 9a^2b
