Factoring Concepts

Factor Completely: 2x² + x - 6

• (x + 2) (2x - 3)

• (x - 6) (2x + 1)

• (x + 1) (2x - 6)

• (x - 2) (2x + 3)

Factor:

5x³ - 7x²

• x²(5x - 7)

• x(5x² - 7x)

• x³(5 - 7x)

• Prime

Factor: 25x² - 9

• (5x + 3)(5x - 3)

• (x + 5)(x - 3)

• (x - 3)(x + 5)

• (5x + 3)(3x + 5)

What is the factored form of x²-10x+24

Which of the following best exemplifies "Making sense of problems and persevering in solving them"?

• Giving up on a difficult problem after the first attempt

• Trying different factoring methods to solve a quadratic equation

• Ignoring complex problems and focusing on easier ones

• Memorizing answers without understanding the underlying concepts
