Any time you factor a polynomial, your first step is to factor out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor). In your case, both terms are divisible by , so we factor that out first (and divide both terms by the GCF inside the parentheses): . Now, look inside the parentheses. That's a difference of two squares, and can be factored...the rule is , so since , it factors to . Don't forget that GCF you factored out; your final answer is
