Factor 5x² -13x + 6

• (5x -2)(x-3)

• (5x -3)(x-2)

• (5x -13)(x-2)

• (5x +3)(x+2)

Factor:

2x² + 3x - 9

• 2(x + 3)(x - 3)

• (2x - 3)²

• (x + 3)(2x - 3)

• (2x + 3)(x - 3)

Which function is equivalent to: h(x)= 3x² + 10x - 8?

• h(x)=(3x + 2)(x + 4)

• h(x)=(7x + 5)(x + 2)

• h(x)=(3x - 2)(x + 4)

• h(x)=(7x - 3)(x - 4)

Factor 4y³ + y + 12y² + 3 by grouping. Remember to look for Standard Form, then for common factors.

• 4y²(y + 3) + 3

• 4y³ + 12y² + y + 3

• (4y² + 1)(y + 3)

Factor 2x² + 4x – 3x – 6 by grouping. Remember to look for Standard Form, then for common factors.

• (2x – 3)(x + 2)

• 2x² + x - 6

• (2x + 3)(x - 2)

Factor x³ – 2x – 4x² + 8 by grouping. Remember to look for Standard Form, then for common factors.

• x³ - 4x² - 2x + 8

• (x – 4)(x² – 2)

• (x – 2)(x² – 4)
