Factoring Special Products Polynomials

Select all polynomials that can be factored.

• x + 1

• x² - 49

• 2x³ - 6x² + 8x

• x² + 3x + 2

Fill in the blank:

(x + 4)(x - _) = x² - 3x - 28

Write the missing term:

(x - 8)² = x² _ + 64

Which of the following pairs is the correct factor of the trinomial x² + x - 12 ?

• (x + 3) (x - 4)

• (x - 3) (x + 4)

• (x + 6) (x - 2)

• (x - 6) (x + 2)

5.6 Multiply Special Products

• 9x² + 9

• 9x² + 18x + 9

• 6x² + 18x + 9

• 6x² + 6

6.2 Grouping:

Factor

• (4x + 7)(x)

• (x + 3)(4x +7)

• (4x² + 12x)(7x+21)

• (4x + 7)+(x + 3)

6.4 Trinomials where a!=1

• (2x - 7)(x - 4)

• (2x - 7)(x + 4)

• (2x + 7)(x + 4)

• (2x - 4)(x + 7)

6.5 Factoring Special Products

• (5x + 2)²

• (5x - 2)²

• (5x + 2)(5x + 2)

• (5x + 2)(5x - 2)

6.7 Solve by Factoring

• x = -6 , x = 4

• (x + 6)(x - 4)

• x = 6 , x = 4

• (x - 6)(x - 4)

a² + 2ab + b² can be factored as

• (a + b)²

• (a - b)²

• (a + b) (a - b)

• Can't be factored (Prime)
