I can factor out the greatest common factor of a polynomial and check it by multiplying back.
See the lessonI can factor x² + bx + c by finding the pair that multiplies to c and adds to b.
See the lessonI can factor ax² + bx + c by finding the pair that multiplies to a · c and adds to b.
See the lessonI can factor a difference of squares a² − b² as (a + b)(a − b) and tell when a sum of squares does not factor.
See the lessonI can test the middle term of a trinomial and factor a perfect square trinomial as a binomial squared.
See the lessonI can factor a four-term polynomial by grouping, using the matching binomial as a check.
See the lessonI can choose a factoring method by taking out the GCF first and counting the terms left.
