1. 1. 48 2.152 3. 32x 3 4. 25x 4 y 2 5. 10, 15 Factor #1-4. Find the GCF for #5.

2. Lesson 10-2 Factoring using the distributive property by Becca & Becky :] The definition of factor is when it is expressed as the product of monomials and polynomials. Ex: 89x 3 y 2 When distributing polynomials, this means to find the completely factored form. When you have a binomial, you un-distribute it using the GCF Ex: 6x 2 + 9x = ___(2x + 3)

3. Ex: 6x 2 + 9x = ___(2x + 3) Step 1: Factor 6x 2 and 9x 6x 2 9x 2 * 3 * x * x 3 * 3 * x Step 2: Find the GCF 6x 2 9xThe GCF of 6x 2 and 9x is 3x. 2 * 3 * x * x 3 * 3 * x

4. Examples Ex 2: 15x 3 +10x 2 =___(3x+2) Ex 3: 12x 2 y+9xy 2 =___(4x+3y) LISTEN TO THE KOOL-AID MAN!!!!! OH YEAH!!!

5. Practice 1.4x 2 y + 16xy 3 =___(x + 4y) 2.x 3 y 2 – x 2 y 3 = ___(x – y) 3.20x 3 - 5x =___(4x 2 – 1) 4.x 6 – 5x 3 = ___(x 3 – 5)
