Provide an appropriate response.Assuming you have factored out the largest common factor at the outset, why can you reject a possible factor such as (2x + 2) or (3x - 6) when you are factoring a trinomial?

What will be an ideal response?


Factors such as (2x + 2) or (3x - 6) contain a common factor and, since the largest common factor has already been removed, such factors are not possible.
