AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a polynomial factoring practice problem, which includes a randomly generated polynomial that can be factored into the product of two quadratic polynomials, and further factored into the product of linear polynomials. First, generate two quadratic polynomials, then calculate their greatest common factor, construct a polynomial, expand it, and finally factor it to get the answer.
