View: Bite-Sized Pieces Lyric Explanation
Verse 1:
Find the greatest common factor
For this polynomial
What coefficients, variables, or terms
Are divisible
2x^2yz^2 extract monomial yet?
With the greatest common factor
Out front, what is next?
What’s left over after we factor out the GCF?
Chorus:
Break down complex polynomials
Into bite-sized pieces
Pull out or extract the common factors
In each new simplified nomial
The difficulty decreases
If you factor this
Find divisible factors if they exist
Pull them out and add them to a list
Bridge/Verse 2:
Two x squared, y cubed, z to the fourth
Plus eight x cubed y z squared, minus
Ten x to the fourth, y squared, z to the fifth
Lets make our G-G-G-GCF list…
Factor two x squared y z squared
Times the product
y squared z squared plus four x minus five
x squared y z to the third
A simplified expression
For a complex world
