Factoring:
State which method should be applied as the first step for factoring the polynomial 6x^3+9x..
a. find the gcf
Becasue 6x^3+9x
GCF = 3x
So, 3x(6x^3/3x + 9x/3x)
= 3x(2x^2 + 3)
.
Use the ac test to determine if the following trinomial can be factored
x^2+2x+3
No, this cannot be factored becasue there is no combination of the facotrs of 3 (3 and 1) that add/subtract to give you (2x).
.
Write in simplest form...
48a^5b/12ab^2
8a^4/b
