Polynomials and Factoring Pretest

Which function is equivalent to: h(x)= 3x² + 10x - 8?

• h(x)=(3x + 2)(x + 4)

• h(x)=(7x + 5)(x + 2)

• h(x)=(3x - 2)(x + 4)

• h(x)=(7x - 3)(x - 4)

Factor x³ – 2x – 4x² + 8 by grouping. Remember to look for Standard Form, then for common factors.

• x³ - 4x² - 2x + 8

• (x – 4)(x² – 2)

• (x – 2)(x² – 4)

Factor by grouping:

5n³-10n²+3n-6
