Lesson 7-2 Factoring by GCF part 1 Obj: The student will be able to factor polynomials by using the greatest common factor HWK: p 467 1-11 all
Use Distributive Property to simplify Ex 1) 2(w + 1) Ex 2) 3x(x² - 4) What do you notice about each of these problems? What do they have in common?
Factor each polynomial Ex 3) 5b + 9b³ Ex 4) 9d² - 8²
Ex 5) -18y³ - 7y² Ex 8) 8x⁴ + 4x³ - 2x²
Ex 7) Mandy’s calculator is powered by solar energy Ex 7) Mandy’s calculator is powered by solar energy. The area of the solar panel is (2x² + 4x) cm². Factor this polynomial to find possible expressions for the dimensions of the solar panel.
