Factoring Ax²

Solve by factoring. (what do they have in common)

n² - 2n = 0

• n = 2 and 0

• n = -2 and 0

• n = 2

• n = 0

The solutions of the quadratic equation

x²+12x+35=0 are (hint: find the zeros) FACTOR

• x = -5 or x = -7

• x = 5 or x = 7

• x = -35 or x = -1

• x = -9 or x = -4

The solutions of the quadratic equation

x²+2x-15=0 are (hint: find the zeros) FACTOR

• x = 3 or x = 5

• x = 5 or x = -3

• x = -5 or x = 3

• x = -3 or x = -5

Solve by factoring.

b² + 2b - 24 = 0 (hint: find the zeros) FACTOR!

• x = 6 or x = -4

• x = -6 or x = -4

• x = 6 or x = 4

• x = -6 or x = 4

Factor: x² + 2x – 3

• (x - 2)(x + 1)

• (x + 1)(x - 3)

• (x + 2)(x - 1)

• (x - 1)(x + 3)

Find the factors of 5x²+20x+20

• 5(x+2)(x+2)

• 5(x-2)(x-2)

• 5(x+2)(x-2)

• (5x+2)(x+2)

Factor (hint...take out the greatest common factor first)
2c² + 2c - 84

• (c-6)(2c+14)

• (c+7)(2c-12)

• (c-4)(2c+21)

• 2(c+7)(c-6)

Factor
x² + 9x - 36

• (x + 12)(x - 3)

• (x + 9)(x - 4)

• (x - 12)(x + 3)

• (x - 9)(x - 4)

Solve by factoring: x² = 7x + 18

• -7 and -18

• 9 and 2

• 9 and -2

• 2 and 7
