Polynomial Practice

What is the first step when factoring polynomials?

• Find the GCF

• List all the terms

• Make the X and fill in the top and bottom

• Multiply a and c

Factor by grouping:
3x³-x²+6x-2

• (x²+2)(3x+1)
•  (x²+2)(3x-1)
• (3x³+6x)(x²-2)
• none of the aboe

Factor x²-2x-15

• (x+5)(x-3)
• (x-5)(x-3)
• (x-5)(x+3)
• (x+5)(x+3)

Which of the following is a factor of x²-10x+24?

• x-4
• x+4
• x+6
• x-2

Factor Completely: 
3x² + 18x +15

• 3(x² + 6x + 5)
• (x + 5)(x + 1)
• 3(x + 5)(x + 1)
• Prime

Solve by factoring: x² + 3x - 18 = 0

• x = -3 and x = 6
• x = 3 and x = -6
• x = -9 and x = 2
• x = 9 and x = -2
