Since we can't teach classes here, try these online resources instead:

. . .Factoring numbers:
. . . . .FreeMathHelp: Factoring Numbers
. . . . .Factoring Numbers
. . . . .Ask Dr. Math: factoring resources

I don't know what you mean by "factoring binomials", but I'm going to guess you mean stuff like "6x + 3 = 3(2x + 1)".

. . .Simple factoring:
. . . . .Simple Factoring
. . . . .WTAMU: Factoring Polynomials

For "trinomials", I think you mean "quadratics", and possibly also differences of squares...?

. . .Factoring quadratics:
. . . . .Factoring Quadratics
. . . . .Special Factoring
. . . . .Ask Dr. Math: Factoring Quadratics Without Guessing
. . . . .Regents Prep: Factoring the Difference of Squares

I'm not sure what you mean by "gcf from polynomial factoring". If you mean "finding the GCF of two or more polynomials", then this is covered in the "simple factoring" lessons above. If you mean "general factoring of polynomials", then:

. . .General factoring of polynomials
. . . . .Factoring Polynomials
. . . . .USASK: Overview of factoring techniques
. . . . .OakRoadSystems: Solving Polynomials

Hope that helps.

Do you mean
2x^3*y2-6x^2*y^3-8xy = 2xy
2x^3*y2-6x^2*y^3-10xy = 0
2xy(x^2*y-3x*y^2-5) = 0

It doesn't seem likely but...

Please review "How to type math" at the top of the page.

dont[sic] isteto[sic] stapel[sic] Gene is much better!

1) Please read the thread, and note that both stapel and Gene said "We can't teach classes here, and your post isn't clear; please review [some other links]."

2) Kindly restrict your religious views to your own threads. I realize you believe I'm going to ****, but it might be appreciated if you didn't preach this to the other students.

Thank you for your consideration.
