Question 236976
Use three or more sentences to describe how you identify whether or not a polynomial is a difference of two squares. Then, factor the polynomial 4x^2-36. 
THE FIRST TERM IS A SQUARE TERM
THE SECOND TERM IS A SQUARE TERM
THEY ARE SEPARATED BY A - SIGN
(2X+6)(2X-6)
------------------------------------------------ 
Use three or more sentences to describe how you identify whether or not a polynomial is a perfect square trinomial. Then, factor the polynomial x^2-40x+400.
THE FIRST TERM IS A SQUARE TERM
THE LAST TERM IS A SQUARE TERM
THE MIDDLE TERM IS 2 TIMES THE SQRT. OF THE THIRD TERM
(X-20)(X-20)
--------------------------------------------------------
Consider the factoring process that has been illustrated below. Use three or more sentences to describe the process used to factor this polynomial.

3y^3+4y^2-12^y-16 EXTRACT Y^2 FROM THE FIRST 2 TERMS & -4 FROM THE LAST 2 TERMS.
=y^2(3y+4)-4(3y+4) COMBINE THE (3Y+4) TERM MULTIPLIERS.
=(3y+4)(y^2-4) FACTOR THE (Y^2-4)TERMS.
=(3y+4)(y+2)(y-2)

Use three or more sentences to describe the process you would follow to completely factor the polynomial 3x6+24.
