Factoring Polynomials: GCF

Question 11 • (AG Q2) Keystone Algebra 1 Block: 26-27(DDiamond)

Isiah determined that 5a2 is the GCF of the polynomial a3 – 25a2b5 – 35b4. Is he correct? Explain.

Answer

Answer:

No. The GCF of the coefficients is 1, and there are no variables common to all three terms. Therefore, the GCF is 1, not 5a².
