anonymous · Answer

$$pq + qr -pq^2r$$

anonymous · Answer

What are you solving for?

anonymous · Answer

Factorize, sorry. I am supposed to factorize this polynomial -

anonymous · Answer

What do you think the first step should be?

anonymous · Answer

I know what the first step is, I think. I'm supposed to find the GCF of the whole thing.

anonymous · Answer

Sorry.. there are FOUR terms, so you were correct. First find the GCF :)

anonymous · Answer

No problem :) So, I need to split the middle term? I'm not sure how I should do that.

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, algrebra and I don't get alone, haha

anonymous · Answer

You will learn that later on :)
This is a factoring by grouping problem.

anonymous · Answer

What do you think the GCF of this polynomial is?

anonymous · Answer

Okay, so this is where I am having the problem. I know how to factorize by grouping, but for this particular problem I am stuck on how to find the gcf.
