Polynomials and Factoring

Find one of the factors of x² - 5x - 24.

• (x - 8)

• (x - 3)

• (x + 4)

• (x - 6)

Which binomial is a factor of 14a² - 15a + 4?

• (7a + 2)

• (14a - 1)

• (7a - 1)

• (7a - 4)

Factor 121p² - 64r².

• (11p + 8r)(11p - 8r)

• (11p - 8r)(11p - 8r)

• (11p+ 8r)(11p + 8r)

• (11r + 8p)(11r - 8p)

Factor 3x⁵ - 27x³ completely.

• 3x³(x² - 9)

• 3(x² - 3)(x² + 3)

• 3x³(x - 3)(x + 3)

• (x - 3)(x + 3)

Match each polynomial to its factored form:

• (x+4)(x-1)

• (x+4)(x+1)

• (x-4)(x-1)

• (x-4)(x+1)

If a = 4x and b = 5, write a SUM of Cubes Problem that would need to then be factored.
