Identify Common Factors: Look for common factors in each term of the polynomial 9u2+21us3+10s6. We notice that there are no common factors among all three terms.
Search for Patterns: Since there are no common factors, we look for patterns or special products such as a difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, or sum/difference of cubes. However, none of these patterns are present in this polynomial.
Attempt Factor by Grouping: We attempt to factor by grouping. To do this, we need to rearrange the terms or find a grouping that works, but with the given terms 9u2, 21us3, and 10s6, there is no clear way to group them to factor by grouping.
Conclude in Simplest Form: Since the polynomial does not have a common factor, does not fit a special product pattern, and cannot be factored by grouping, we conclude that the polynomial is already in its simplest form and cannot be factored further over the integers.
