Fill the blanks of the given statements.
Answer to Problem 8E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A polynomial has more than three terms, a method of factoring called Factoring by --------
When a polynomial has more than three terms, a method of factoring called Factoring by Grouping may be used.
If you have a four-term polynomial, factor it as product of two polynomials. This process is called factor by grouping.
To factor four term polynomials by grouping, first group the two pair of terms, then factor out Greatest Common Factor (GCF) from each pair of terms and finally factor out the common binomial factor.
Consider a four-termpolynomial
First group pairs
Use distributive law
Therefore using factor by grouping, the factored polynomial is
