Factoring Polynomials with Slide, Divide, and Bottom's Up

What is the first step in factoring polynomials when 'a' is greater than 1?

• Slide

• Bottoms Up

• Factor

• Divide

What do we multiply by 'a' in the Slide step?

• Both 'b' and 'c' values

• None of the above

• The 'c' value

• The 'b' value

What does the 'Slide' step involve?

• Adding 'a' to 'c'

• Sliding 'a' to the 'b' position

• Multiplying 'a' with 'c'

• Dividing 'a' by 'c'

After the 'Slide' step, what is the new 'c' value in the example?

• 5

• -15

• 15

• -5

Which two numbers multiply to -15 and add to -2?

• -3 and 5

• -5 and 3

• 3 and -5

• 5 and -3

In the 'Divide' step, what do you divide by?

• The original 'c' value

• The original 'b' value

• The original 'a' value

• The sum of 'a' and 'b'

What is the purpose of the 'Bottoms Up' step?

• To divide the factors

• To simplify the fractions

• To add the factors

• To multiply the factors

What are the final factored forms of the polynomial?

• (3p - 5)(p + 1)

• (p + 5)(3p - 1)

• (p - 5)(3p + 1)

• (3p + 5)(p - 1)

What is the result of 3p - 5 = 0 solved for p?

• 5/3

• -1

• 3/5

• -5/3

How do you solve for p in the equation P + 1 = 0?

• -1

• 0

• 2

• 1
