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:

\(\mathbf{P(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx +d}\)

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
