Factor Using Algebra Tiles

Solve for factors using algebra tiles for the expression x^2 + 6x + 9:

• (x + 3)(x + 3) or (x + 3)^2

• (x + 2)(x + 4)

• (x + 5)(x + 1)

• (x - 3)(x - 3)

Solve for factors using algebra tiles for the expression 4x^2 - 12x + 9:

• The factors are (2x-3)(2x-3)

• (2x+3)(2x-3)

• (4x-3)(x-3)

• (2x-3)(2x+3)

Use algebra tiles to factor the trinomial 3x^2 + 7x + 2:

• The factors are (3x + 1)(x + 2).

• (3x + 2)(x + 1)

• (3x - 1)(x - 2)

• (3x - 2)(x - 1)
