Create a factorable polynomial with a GCF of 7. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was created.

Answer 1

This looks like an odd problem.

Just start with a simple expression with 7 as a factor, and then multiply it out.

For example:

7(x+1)(x+2)

Here 7 could be the GCF.

Now multiply it out:

7(x^2+3x+2) =

7x^2+21x+14

So our factorable polynomial is 7x^2+21x+14

And its two equivalent forms are: 

7(x^2+3x+2)
and
7(x+1)(x+2)
