3. 2x(x + 4) – 3(x + 4) Factor out a common binomial Factor out the common binomial 2x(x + 4) – 3(x + 4) = (x + 4) (2x – 3) (2x – 3) 4x²(x – 3) + 5(x – 3) Factor out the common binomial 4x²(x – 3) + 5(x – 3) = (x – 3) (4x² + 5) (4x² + 5)

4. 7y(y – 2) + 3(2 – y) Factor out a common binomial The binomials y – 2 and 2 – y are opposites. Factor out -1 from 3(2 – y) to obtain -3(y – 2). Factor out the common binomial 7y(y – 2) – 3(y – 2) = (y – 2) (7y – 3) (7y – 3) 7y(y – 2) – 3(y – 2)

5. 2y²(y – 4) – 6(4 – y) Factor out a common binomial…Try It Out The binomials y – 4 and 4 – y are opposites. Factor out -1 from -6(4 – y) to obtain 6(y – 4). Factor out the common binomial 2y²(y – 4) + 6(y – 4) = (y – 4) (2y² + 6) (2y² + 6) 2y²(y – 4) + 6(y – 4)

6. x³ + 3x² + 5x + 15 Factor by grouping Group terms into binomials and look to factor out a common binomial. Factor out each group x²(x + 3) + 5(x + 3) = (x + 3) (x² + 5) (x² + 5) (x³ + 3x²) + (5x + 15) (x + 3) x² + 5 Factor out the common binomial

7. x³ – 6 + 2x – 3x² Factor by grouping…Try It Out Group terms into binomials and look to factor out a common binomial. Factor out each group x²(x – 3) + 2(x – 3) = (x – 3) (x² + 2) (x² + 2) (x³ – 3x²) + (2x – 6) (x – 3) x² + 2 Factor out the common binomial Reorder polynomial with degree of powers decreasing from left to right. x³ – 3x² + 2x – 6
