- How do you factor polynomials by taking out the greatest common factor?
- How could you factor xy - 3y?
- How do you factor complicated expressions with large expressions in parentheses in common?
- How can you factor x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1)?
- How do you factor an expression when two terms have parentheses that are the same?
- How would you factor a(x-y) + b(x-y)?
- How do you factor 5x(3m - 1) - (3m - 1)?
- How would you factor x(a - b) + y(b - a)?
- How do you factor an expression if the terms inside the parentheses are different?
- How do you factor if the parentheses in the terms are opposites?
- How would you factor 3x(1 - 2y) - 5(2y - 1)?
- How do you factor 5x(2x - 3) - y(2x + 3)?
- What happens if you cannot factor a polynomial?
- What if two terms have nothing in common?
- When you have two terms with the same values in parentheses, how do you know what goes in the other set of parentheses in the answer?
- How do you factor 2y(-2x + 5) + 3(2x - 5)?
The problems in this lesson are much more tricky and lead into some more complicated ideas for factoring. This is a great lead-in to the concepts that are coming up in factoring.
