  1. EXAMPLE 1 Find a common monomial factor Factor the polynomial completely. a. x3 + 2x2 – 15x = x(x2 + 2x – 15) Factor common monomial. = x(x + 5)(x – 3) Factor trinomial. = 2y3(y2 – 9) b. 2y5 – 18y3 Factor common monomial. = 2y3(y + 3)(y – 3) Difference of two squares = 4z2(z2 – 4z + 4) c. 4z4 – 16z3 + 16z2 Factor common monomial. = 4z2(z – 2)2 Perfect square trinomial

  2. = 2z2 (2z)3 – 53 EXAMPLE 2 Factor the sum or difference of two cubes Factor the polynomial completely. = x3 + 43 a. x3 + 64 Sum of two cubes = (x + 4)(x2 – 4x + 16) = 2z2(8z3 – 125) b. 16z5 – 250z2 Factor common monomial. Difference of two cubes = 2z2(2z – 5)(4z2 + 10z + 25)

  3. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE Factor the polynomial completely. 1.x3 – 7x2 + 10x ANSWER x( x – 5 )( x – 2 ) 2. 3y5 – 75y3 ANSWER 3y3(y – 5)(y + 5 ) 3. 16b5 + 686b2 2b2(2b + 7)(4b2 –14b + 49) ANSWER 4. w3 – 27 ANSWER (w – 3)(w2 + 3w + 9)
