Factor the following expressions. When factoring polynomials with four terms, it may be possible to factor by grouping.
To factor a polynomial completely, write the polynomial as a product of unfactorable polynomials with integer coefficients. Things to try when factoring completely: 1. Factor out the greatest common monomial factor. 2. Look for differences of squares or perfect square trinomials 3. Factor a trinomial into a product of binomials. 4. If there are four terms, try to factor by grouping.
