how do i factor a polynomial? 14b^3+34b^2-18b

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

First take the GCF of all the terms which is 2b you will end up with 2b ( a Quadratic function). Now factor the quadratic again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what

OpenStudy (rajee_sam):

In this polynomial there is no constant term right? meaning all terms have a b in it.

OpenStudy (espex):

Look at each of the terms and decide what you could take equally out of each of them, the (greatest common factor).
