The document provides guidance on homework involving factoring polynomials completely. It begins with a countdown timer showing time remaining for homework. It then lists different factoring methods students should use, such as factoring out the greatest common factor, looking for differences of squares, perfect square trinomials, and pairing binomial factors. The document stresses checking work and lists examples of polynomials to factor completely without providing the factored forms.
10. Factor out the GCF first Look for a difference of squares Look for a perfect square trinomial Look for a pair of binomial factors If a polynomial has 4 or more terms, look for a way to factor by grouping Make sure you cant factor any further Check your work! GUIDES TO FACTORING COMPLETELY
