\"4z-14%2B2z%5E3-7z%5E2\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2z%5E3-7z%5E2%2B4z-14\" Rearrange the terms in descending order.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282z%5E3-7z%5E2%29%2B%284z-14%29\" Group like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"z%5E2%282z-7%29%2B2%282z-7%29\" Factor out the GCF \"z%5E2\" out of the first group. Factor out the GCF \"2\" out of the second group\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28z%5E2%2B2%29%282z-7%29\" Since we have the common term \"2z-7\", we can combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"4z-14%2B2z%5E3-7z%5E2\" factors to \"%28z%5E2%2B2%29%282z-7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
