In this lesson, you will review each strategy learned throughout this unit to assess the best strategy to factor polynomials. You will be presented with different polynomials, and, without additional context, you will find the fully factored form of each.

When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Recognize and use the appropriate method to factor a polynomial completely.

Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:

  • 6.7.1: Factoring Strategies for Polynomials
  • 6.7.2: Reviewing General Strategies to Factor a Polynomial
    • 6.7.2: Self Check
    • 6.7.2: Additional Resources
  • 6.7.3: Implementing General Strategies for Factoring
    • 6.7.3: Self Check
    • 6.7.3: Additional Resources
  • 6.7.4: Is the Polynomial Completely Factored?

After that, you’ll practice and review.

  • 6.7.5: Practice
  • 6.7.6: Lesson Summary
