Factoring Trinomials With a Coefficient

Factor the trinomial.

• (2v-1)(v+5)

• (2v+1)(v-5)

• (2v-1)(v-5)

• (2v+1)(v+5)

Factor completely.
5x² - 13x + 6

• (x - 3)(5x - 2)

• (5x - 3)(x - 2)

• 5(x - 3)(x + 2)

• Not factorable

Factor:
6k² - 19k - 7

• (k + 7)(6k - 1)

• (2k + 1)(3k - 7)

• (3k - 1)(2k - 7)

• (3k + 1)(2k - 7)

Factor the trinomial.

• (3n+2)(n-2)

• (3n-2)(n-2)

• (3n-2)(n+2)

• (3n+2)(n+2)

When using the slide-divide-slide method to factor, what do you do if you end up with a fraction in one of your binomials after dividing by a?

• slide the denominator up to become the coefficient of the variable

• make it a decimal instead

• panic, I am afraid of fractions

• just leave it, fractions are your friends

30a² + 16a - 32

• 2(5a + 4)(3a - 4)

• (10a - 8)(3a + 4)

• (5a - 4)(6a + 8)

• 2(5a - 4)(3a + 4)

2x² - 2x - 12

• 2(x - 2)(x + 3)

• Prime

• 2(x + 2)(x - 3)

• (2x + 4)(x - 3)

12x² - 52x - 40

• 4(3x + 2)(x - 5)

• (3x + 2)(4x - 20)

• (12x + 8)(x - 5)

• (12x + 8)(x - 5)

8y² + 36y - 20

• 4(2y + 1)(y - 5)

• (8y - 4)(y + 5)

• 4(2y - 1)(y + 5)

• (2y - 1)(4y + 20)

Factor
x² + 9x - 36

• (x + 12)(x - 3)

• (x + 9)(x - 4)

• (x - 12)(x + 3)

• (x - 9)(x - 4)
