Factoring Trinomials Quiz

What is the purpose of distributing terms when checking factors of a trinomial?

• To change the signs of the terms

• To find the greatest common factor

• To verify if the factors match the original trinomial

• To simplify the trinomial

In the first example, why were the initial factors incorrect?

• The factors were not fully simplified

• The trinomial was not quadratic

• The signs of the terms were incorrect

• The coefficients were too large

What was the result of using the second set of factors in the example?

• The trinomial was simplified incorrectly

• The factors did not match the original trinomial

• The trinomial became a binomial

• The factors matched the original trinomial
