Now let's move on to factorizations that may require two or more techniques. Factor completely, or state that the polynomial is prime. Check factorizations using multiplication or a graphing utility. $$2 r^{3}+30 r^{2}-68 r$$
Use the \([\mathrm{GRAPH}]\) or \([\mathrm { TABLE }]\) feature of a graphing utility to determine if the polynomial on the left side of each equation has been correctly factored. If not, factor the polynomial correctly and then use your graphing utility to verify the factorization. $$\begin{aligned} &x^{4}-16=\left(x^{2}+4\right)(x+2)(x-2) ;[-5,5,1] \text { by }\\\ &[-20,20,2] \end{aligned}$$
Now let's move on to factorizations that may require two or more techniques. Factor completely, or state that the polynomial is prime. Check factorizations using multiplication or a graphing utility. $$-7 y^{3}+21 y^{2}-14 y$$
The polynomial \(4 x^{2}+100\) is the sum of two squares and therefore cannot be factored. If the general factoring strategy is used to factor a polynomial, at least two factorizations are necessary before the given polynomial is factored completely.
Factor completely. $$7 x^{4}+34 x^{2}-5$$
