In order to factor the polynomial: x3+6x2+9xx^3 + 6x^2 + 9x completely, should you factor out a GCF first? Why or why not?
You encounter the expression: 3x2+14x+83x^2 + 14x + 8. A peer suggests that directly finding integers which will add to 14 and multiply to 8 will factor this expression. Is this suggestion valid? Choose the best justification.
Use the AC method to factor 6x2+17x+5 6x^2 + 17x + 5.
Factor the polynomial 64m3−164m^3-1.
Use the quadratic formula to solve for: (x+2)(x+5)−14=0(x + 2)(x + 5) - 14 = 0.
