The model represents a polynomial of the form ax2 + bx + c.

The polynomial 2x3 − 5x2 + 4x − 10 is split into two groups, 2x3 + 4x and −5x2 − 10. The GCFs of each group is then factored out. What is the common binomial factor between the two groups after their GCFs have been factored out?
The partial factorization of x2 – x – 12 is modeled with algebra tiles.
