1. Factor the trinomial «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«msup»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»+«/mo»«mi»x«/mi»«mo»-«/mo»«mn»12«/mn»«/math»  

Explanation

This is a trinomial. We want to multiply to -12 and add to a positive 1. Therefore we need +4 and -3.

It includes questions on factoring trinomials,... see moreidentifying correct factorizations, and solving quadratic equations by factoring, with a focus on using the greatest common factor (GCF). see less

2. Factor the following (be careful with signs!) «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«msup»«mi»y«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»-«/mo»«mn»49«/mn»«/math»

Explanation

This is an example of difference of perfect squares where y2 and 49 are both perfect squares.

3.                                                  TRUE or FALSE The following expression: 3x - 30 is factored correctly as: (x - 10)  

Explanation

The given expression, 3x - 30, can be factored as 3(x - 10), not as (x - 10). Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
4. Use the PAYBACK METHOD to factor the following quadratic equation. «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mn»3«/mn»«msup»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»+«/mo»«mn»10«/mn»«mi»x«/mi»«mo»+«/mo»«mn»8«/mn»«/math»

Explanation

The given quadratic equation can be factored using the Payback Method. The Payback Method involves finding the common factors between the terms in the equation and factoring them out. In this case, the common factor between the terms is (3x+4). By factoring out (3x+4) from both terms, we are left with (3x+4)(x+2), which is the correct answer.

Submit
5. Solve and check. Express your answer in set notation {  ,  } «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«msup»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»-«/mo»«mn»121«/mn»«mo»=«/mo»«mn»0«/mn»«/math»

Explanation

The correct answer is {-11, 11},{11, -11}. The answer is in set notation and includes the values -11 and 11, with both possible orders of the numbers. The answer also includes the individual values 11 and -11, but these are not in set notation.

Submit
6. Solve the following quadratic equation and choose your answer below «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«msup»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»+«/mo»«mn»9«/mn»«mi»x«/mi»«mo»+«/mo»«mn»18«/mn»«/math»

Explanation

Trinomial factoring

7. Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring (HINT: USE GCF) «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mn»3«/mn»«msup»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»+«/mo»«mn»2«/mn»«mi»x«/mi»«mo»=«/mo»«mn»0«/mn»«/math»

Explanation

Factoring by gcf where gcf is just "x"
