Practice: Factoring Trinomials(a = 1, a >1, diff. of squares)

Factor
x² + 12x + 36

• (x + 6)(x +6)
• (x + 9)(x - 4)
• (x - 12)(x + 3)
• (x - 6)(x - 6)

Factor
k²+7x+10

• (k+2)(k+5)
• (k-2)(k-5)
• (k+10)(k+4)
• (k+2)(k-5)

Factor:
2x² + 13x + 15

• (2x + 1)(x + 15)
• (x + 3)(x + 5)
• (2x - 3)(x - 5)
• (2x + 3)(x + 5)

Factor
4n²-17n-15

• (n-10)(6n+1)
• (4n-5)(n-3)
• (n-5)(4n-3)
• (n-5)(4n+3)

Factor:

2x² + 3x - 9

• 2(x + 3)(x - 3)

• (2x - 3)²

• (x + 3)(2x - 3)

• (2x + 3)(x - 3)

x² - 400 (use square root chart)

• ( x - 200) ( x + 200) 
• ( x + 20) ( x + 20) 
• Prime
• ( x - 20) ( x + 20)

4a² - 25

• (2a + 5) (2a - 5)
• (2a - 5) (2a - 5)
• (x + 5) (x - 5)
• Can't factor using Diff. of Squares

r² - 9t²

• (r + 3t) (r - 3t)
• (r - 3t) (r - 3t)
• (3r + t) (3r - t)
• Can't factor using Diff. of Squares

• (5x-9)²
• (5x+9)(5x-9)
• 25(x-9)²
• (9x+5)(9x-5)
