Factoring Polynomials
7. 4x 2 − 8x − 6 8. 8x 3 + 12x 2 − 4x 9. −3y 2 + 9y − 3
10. 2x 2y − 4xy + 6xy 2 11. 12x4 − 16x3 + 8x2 − 28x 12. 4x 2 + 6xy −14y 2
13. Explain why the terms of the polynomial y 2 + 7 are said to be relatively prime.
14. Write a trinomial of degree 3 in standard form with a GCF of 6x. Factor out
the GCF from your trinomial.

The expressions given in the table are either the greatest common factor or a factor
of each polynomial. Use the GCF to factor each of the following polynomials. Some
expressions may be used more than once. If the polynomial cannot be factored,
enter PRIME in the GCF column.
1. 5x 2 − 40x
2. 3x 4y + x 3y 2 − 2x 5y 5
3. 12x 2 − 11y
7. −35x 5y 7 − 42x 3
8. 11x 2y + 55x 2y 2
9. 30x 3y 9 + 36xy 2
