Answer:
a. How did you factor each polynomial expression?
• Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial
• Divide each term of the polynomial by the GCF
• Use the quotients to rewrite the polynomial, expressing each term as a product of factors.
• Use the distributive property to write the polynomial as a product of factors
b. what factoring technique did you use to come up with the factors of a polynomial expression?
• Examine the terms to determine whether there's a common factor. If so, factor out the GCF
c. How did you check the if the factors you obtained are correct?
• Examine all the factors to determine if any factor can be factored further
d. Which of the polynomial expressions you find difficult? why?
• Factoring Trinomial. Factoring polynomials of this type by trial and error may require testing many trial factors.
