Factoring Challenge

x² - 25

• ( x + 5 ) ( x - 5 )

• ( x - 5 )²

• ( x + 5 )²

• not factorable

Factor
n² + 16n + 63

• (n-7)(n+4)

• (n+7)(n-9)

• (n-3)(n-10)

• (n+7)(n+9)

9x² - 49y²

• ( 3x + 7y) (3x + 7y)

• ( 3x - 7y) (3x + 7y)

• ( 3x - 7y) (3x - 7y)

• 9xy(x-4y)

Factor using the GCF: 56a³-8a

• 8a²(56a³-8a)

• 8a(7a²-1)

• 8a(7a³-a)

• 8a²(35a²-a)

What two numbers when multiplied equals -56, but when you add them equals 1? CHOOSE TWO NUMBERS

(a)   (b)  

• -7

• 8

• -8

• 7

• 56

• 1

• -56

• -1

Match each polynomial to its factored form:

• (x-4)(x+1)

• (x+4)(x+1)

• (x-4)(x-1)

• (x+4)(x-1)

Match each polynomial with the correct label for factoring.

• GCF Only

• Sum of Two Squares

• Sum of

  Two Cubes

• Difference of

  Two Cubes

• Difference of

  Two Squares

If a = 4x and b = 5, write a SUM of Cubes Problem that would need to then be factored.
