Factoring When a is not 1

When factoring when a≠1, you must find a pair of numbers that multiply to

• a

• a*c

• b*c

• c

When factoring when a≠1, you must find a pair of numbers that add to

• a

• b

• c

• a*c

Where do you write the squared term in the grid?

• top left

• top right

• bottom left

• bottom right

Where do you write the constant term in the grid?

• top left

• top right

• bottom left

• bottom right

(Choose one) The missing diagonals MUST

• add to b

• multiply to c

• multiply to a*c

• add to b and multiply to a*c

Which expression has an a-value larger than 1?

• x^2 + x + 7

• x^2 + x - 7

• x^2 + 7x + 1

• 7x^2 + x + 1

For the expression 2x^2 - 8x + 3, what are the a-, b-, and c-values?

• a = 2, b = -8, c = 3

• a = 2, b = 8, c = 3

• a = x^2, b = x, c = 3

• a = 2x^2, b = -8x, c = 3

For the expression 3x^2 + 19x - 4, what are the a-, b-, and c-values?

• a = -3, b = -19, c = 4

• a = 3x^2, b = 19x, c = -4

• a = 3, b = 19, c = -4

• a = x^2, b = x, c = 1

Factor 2x^2 + 5x - 3

• (2x + 1)(x - 3)

• (2x + 1)(x + 3)

• (2x - 1)(x + 3)

• (2x - 1)(x - 3)

Factor 2x^2 - 3x + 1

• (2x - 1)(x - 1)

• (2x + 1)(x - 1)

• (2x - 1)(x + 1)

• (2x + 1)(x + 1)
