Factor, if possible. If the polynomial is prime, say so

w2 + 8w + 16

Factor completely. If the polynomial is prime, say so

35x² - 2x - 1

Factor using the AC method. If the polynomial is prime, say so.

3y2 + 10y + 7

For the first two problems, factor the polynomials using whatever strategy seems appropriate.

For the third problem, make sure you use the "ac method" to factor.
