Answer 1

I can’t see the images you attached. Please either

- paste the five algebraic expressions here, or
- re-upload the images (make sure they’re attached so I can access them), or
- type a short description of each expression.

If you’d like, here are quick factoring tips so you can try them while you paste the expressions:

1. Look for a greatest common factor (GCF) first — factor it out.
2. For quadratics ax^2 + bx + c:
- If a = 1, find two numbers that multiply to c and add to b.
- If a ≠ 1, use the “ac” (split-the-middle) method: find two numbers that multiply to a*c and add to b, split the middle term, then factor by grouping.
3. For four-term polynomials, try factoring by grouping (pair terms, factor common binomial).
4. Recognize special forms:
- Difference of squares: A^2 − B^2 = (A − B)(A + B).
- Perfect square trinomial: A^2 ± 2AB + B^2 = (A ± B)^2.
- Sum/difference of cubes: A^3 + B^3 = (A + B)(A^2 − AB + B^2); A^3 − B^3 = (A − B)(A^2 + AB + B^2).
5. If nothing works, use the quadratic formula to find roots and write factors as a(x − r1)(x − r2).

Paste the five expressions and I’ll factor them for you.
