Factoring Polynomials with a Greater Than One

Match the following expressions with their factors.

• x² + 5x + 6

• (x + 4)(x + 3)

• x² + 6x + 5

• (x + 5)(x + 1)

• x² + 6x + 8

• (x + 4)(x + 2)

• x² + 7x + 12

• (x + 2)(x + 3)

Factor: m² + 8m + 15 = (a)  

• (m + 2)(m +6)

• (m + 1)(m + 7)

• (m + 4)(m + 4)

• (m + 3)(m + 5)

The expression n² - 2n +1 can be factored as (a)  

• (n - 1)(n - 1)

• (n - 2)(n - 1)

• (n - 3)(n + 1)

• (n + 1)(n +1)

Factor
x² + 9x - 36 = (a)  

• (x + 12)(x - 3)

• (x + 9)(x - 4)

• (x - 12)(x + 3)

• (x - 9)(x - 4)

Factor
k² - 2k - 24

• (k+4)(k-6)

• (k+4)(k+6)

• (k+6)(k-1)

• (k-4)(k+6)
