\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3%2B8x%5E2%2B2x%2B16\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E3%2B8x%5E2%29%2B%282x%2B16%29\" Group like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%28x%2B8%29%2B2%28x%2B8%29\" Factor out the GCF \"x%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( "\"%28x%5E2%2B2%29%28x%2B8%29\" Since we have the common term \"x%2B8\", we can combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"x%5E3%2B8x%5E2%2B2x%2B16\" factors to \"%28x%5E2%2B2%29%28x%2B8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"x%5E3%2B8x%5E2%2B2x%2B16=%28x%5E2%2B2%29%28x%2B8%29\"\r
