Factoring Trinomials using GCF First

2x²+2x-12

• 2(x-3)(x+4)

• 2(x²+x-6)

• 2(x-3)(x+2)

• 2(x-2)(x+3)

Factor completely:

3x² + 18x +15

Hint: Factor GCF first.

• 3(x² + 6x + 5)

• (x + 5)(x + 1)

• 3(x + 5)(x + 1)

• 3(x-5)(x-1)

Factor:
p² - 14p

• p(1 - 14)
• 2p(p - 7)
• p²(1-14)
• p(p - 14)

Factor:

-12b² - 4b + 16

• -(2b - 2)(6b + 8)

• -2(3b+4)(2b - 2)

• 4(3b + 4)(-b + 1)

• -4(b - 1)(3b + 4)
