Danna Blackburn · Answer 1

No because there is no like terms that is alike to each other.

Brynn Maxwell · Answer 2

No it cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

When, factoring by grouping, you are combing like terms! In this polynomial, however, there are no like terms. Each is a different term, so we can't combine any of them. Thus, factoring by grouping is NOT an option.
