Method of Factoring

Factor (Harder Trinomial):
2x² - 5x - 3

• (2x + 1) (x - 3)
• (2x - 1) (x + 3)
• (2x - 1) (x + 6)
• (x + 1) (2x - 3)

Factor (Harder Trinomial):
5x² - 16x + 3

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

Factor (Harder Trinomial):
6x² + 7x - 3

• (3x - 1) (2x + 3)
• (3x + 1) (2x - 3)
• (6x + 1) (x - 3)
• (2x + 1) (3x - 3)

Factor (Harder Trinomial):
4x² - 8x + 3

• (2x - 1) (2x - 3)
• (2x + 1) (2x + 3)
• (4x + 1) (x + 3)
• (4x - 1) (x - 3)

Factor (Easy Trinomial):
x² - 2x - 15

• (x - 5)(x + 3)
• (x + 3)(x - 5)
• (x - 3)(x - 5)
• (x - 15)(x - 2)

Factor (Easy Trinomial):
x²  + 8x - 20

• (x + 10)(x - 2)
• (x + 4)(x + 5)
• (x - 10)(x + 2)
• (x - 8)(x + 20)

Factor (GCF):
12x + 9

• 3 (4x + 3)
• x (12+9)
• 3 (4x - 3)
• Prime

Factor (GCF):
18a² - 15a

• 15a (3a - 1)
• 3a (6a - 1)
• 3 (6a - 5)
• 3a (6a - 5)

Factor (Grouping):
x³ - 5x² + 5x - 25

• (x² - 5) (x - 5)
• (x² + 5) (x - 5)
• (x² + 5) (x + 5)
• (x² - 1) (x - 25)

Factor (Grouping):
20x³ - 25x² + 4x - 5

• (5x² - 5) (4x + 1)
• 5 (x² - 1) (4x + 5)
• (5x² + 1) (4x - 5)
• (5x² + 1) (4x - 1)
