Answer:
Prime: x^2 + 17x - 30.
Difference of 2 squares: 256x^4 - 49x^2.
GCF: 4x^2 - 24x + 144.
Perfect Square trinomial: 4a^6 - 28a^3 + 49
Factoring Trinomial: b^2 + 5b - 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x^2 + 17x - 30 will not factor.
2. 256x^4 - 49x^2 = (16x^2 + 7x)(16x^2 - 7x)
3. 4x^2 - 24x + 144 = 4(x^2 - 6x + 36).
4. 4a^6 - 28a^3 + 49 = (2a^3 - 7)^2.
5. b^2 + 5b - 36 = (b + 9)(b - 4).
