Quiz: Factoring

MM1A2: Students will simplify and operate with radical expressions, polynomials, and rational
expressions.
MM1A3: Students will solve simple equations.

Solve for x:

_________________1) (x + 6)(x - 3) = 0 __________________2) (x + 3)2 = 0

_________________3) (3x - 1)(2x + 5) = 0 __________________4) (2x + 7)(3x 7 ) = 0

_________________5) (6n - 9)(n - 7) = 0 __________________6) (2x 5)(3x 4 ) = 0

MM1A3: ___/12

Factor out the greatest common factor.

____________________ 7) 6x3 18x ___________________ 8) 4x4 + 12x

____________________ 9) 3x 9x2 ____________________ 10) 24x5 + 6x2

____________________ 11) 3a + ab ____________________ 12) 4x5 + 8x3

Factor by grouping.

_______________________17) 5x3 x2 + 45x 9 _____________________18) 3x3 + 15x2 x 5

Mixed Factoring: (ThinkIf its a binomial, use difference of squares. If its a trinomial, use the X chart, if it is a
polynomial with four terms, use grouping.)

_______________________19) 5x2 - 30x + 4x - 24 _______________________20) x2 + 3x 70

_______________________21) x2 2x - 48 _______________________22) y2 49

_______________________23) c2 11c + 28 _______________________24) a2 22a + 121

_______________________25) y2 + 19y +84 _______________________26) p2 + 9p + 14

_______________________27) 25x2 144 _______________________28) 9y2 - 64

MM1A2: ______/ 56

Bonus: (5 points added to standard MM1A3 at the beginning of the quiz)

Factor then solve for x: x2 + 5x 6 = 0
