Factoring Trinomials 2

Factor
n² + 16n + 63

• (n-7)(n+4)
• (n+7)(n-9)
• (n-3)(n-10)
• (n+7)(n+9)

Factor Completely: 
2c² + 4c - 84
Hint: Factor GCF first.

• (c-6)(2c+14)
• (c+7)(2x-12)
• (c-4)(2c+21)
• 2(c+7)(c-6)

x² - 25

• ( x + 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 
• ( x - 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 
• ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) 
• Prime

What is the first question you ask yourself when factoring a polynomial? 

• How many terms does it have? 
• Is there a GCF? 
• What strategy should I use? 
• Why do I have to learn this?!?!?!

Factor
k² - 2k - 24

• (k+4)(k-6)

Factor:
 4h² - 17h + 4

• (2h - 2)²
• 4(h + 4)(h + 1)
• (2h - 2)(2h + 2)
• (h - 4)(4h - 1)

Factor

Factor
9x²-6x-8
