Answer:
1. How do you factor polynomials?
Step 1: Identify the GCF of the polynomial.
Step 2: Divide the GCF out of every term of the polynomial. ...
example: x(3x-1)+5(3x-1)
Our GCF is (3x -1).
x(3x-1)+5(3x-1)
(3x-1)(x+5)
*Divide (3x - 1) out of both parts
When we divide out the (3x - 1) out of the first term, we are left with x. When we divide it out of the second term, we are left with 5.
That is how we get the (x + 5) for our second ( ).
