Polynomials can be solved in several ways.
The possible first steps are: A. Factor out a GCF and F. Factor by grouping
A polynomial with 4 terms is represented as:
[tex]\mathbf{P(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx +d}[/tex]
Because it has 4 terms, it cannot be solved by sum or difference of cubes or squares.
This mean that: options (b), (c), (d) and (e) are false.
However, the terms of the polynomial can be factored, if they have a common factor, and they can also be grouped.
Hence, the possible first steps are: A. Factor out a GCF and F. Factor by grouping
