A2 Factoring Practice

Factor:   x³ + 1

• (x + 1)³
• (x+1)(x² - x + 1)
• (x - 1) (x² + x - 1)
• (x + 1)(x² - 2x + 1)

Factor:  27x³ + 8

• (3x + 2)(9x² - 6x + 4)
• (9x + 2)(3x² + 18x + 4)
• (3x²+4)(9x + 2)
• (27x + 8)(x² - 216x + 64)

Factor:  x² + 9x + 18

• (x + 3)(x + 6)
• (x - 3)(x - 6)
• (x + 9)(x + 2)
• (x + 3)²

Factor:  
x² -17x - 60

• (x - 20)(x + 3)
• (x - 3)(x + 20)
• (x - 3)(x - 20)
• (x + 3)(x + 20)

Factor: 15x² -7x - 4

• (3x + 1)(5x - 4)
• (3x-1)(5x +4)
• (5x + 1)(3x - 4)
• (5x - 1)(3x + 4)

What is the factored form of x³+7x²-2x-14

• (x²-2)(x-7)

• (x²+2)(x-7)

• (x²+2)(x+7)

• (x²-2)(x+7)

Factor: 8x³ - 1

• (2x - 1)(4x² + 2x + 1)
• (2x + 1)(4x² - 2x + 1)
• (2x - 1)(4x² - 2x - 1)
• (2x + 1)(4x² +2x + 1)

Factor by grouping:
5n³-10n²+3n-6

• (5n²+3)(n-2)
• (5n²-3)(n-2)
• (5n³+3)(n-2)
• 10n(n²-6)

Factor by grouping:
4p³+8p²+3p+6

• (2p²+3)(p+2)
• (2p²+6)(p+4)
• (4p²+3)(p+2)
• (4p²+8p)(3p+6)
