"Make strategic use of algebraic structure and the properties of operations to identify and create equivalent expressions:
• by factoring polynomials limited to finding a common factor, rewriting binomials that represent a difference of two squares, and rewriting trinomials as the product of two binomials.
• including rewriting simple rational expressions, rewriting expressions with rational exponents in radical form, and factoring polynomials not included in the preceding bullet."

What you'll learn
- Factor a polynomial completely over the integers, choosing the technique from its term count and structure, or determine that it does not factor
- Extract the greatest common factor, including a negative GCF and a variable GCF at its lowest power
- Factor a difference of two squares or a perfect-square trinomial, including squares disguised by degree or by a common factor, and recognize a sum or difference of cubes
- Factor a trinomial, with leading coefficient 1 by the sum-product search and otherwise by splitting the middle term and grouping
- Factor a four-term polynomial by grouping
