Question 1
1.

Match each factored form with its unfactored form.

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item
(a+b)(a2 - ab + b2)
arrow_right_alt
a2 - b2
(a-b)(a2 + ab + b2)
arrow_right_alt
a3 + b3
(a+b)(a-b)
arrow_right_alt
a3 - b3
Question 2
2.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

10x^{5}-10x

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 3
3.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

x^{3}+216y^{3}

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 4
4.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

24x^{4}y+375xy^{4}

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 5
5.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

216x^{3}-125

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 6
6.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

x^{3}+x^{2}-20x

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 7
7.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

9x^{4}-12x^{2}+4

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 8
8.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

x^{3}+5x^{2}-x-5

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

This one has 3 linear factors.

Question 9
9.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first.

2x^{5}-18x^{4}+7x-63

Enter your answer with the GCF first (if any), then binomial factors (if any), then trinomial factors (if any). No spaces. If there are multiple binomials, list the negative first.

Question 10
10.

Factor the polynomial completely. Make sure to check for a GCF first. Then factor as a difference of squares. Be sure to use the variables in the problem.

a7b2 - ab2

Do not include spaces in your answer. List the GCF first, then the binomial factors (minus sign first), then the trinomial factors (minus sign first). Your answer will have 4 pairs of parenthesis.

Question 11
11.

Review
Match the functions with their end behaviors.

(remember to put each polynomial in standard form - decreasing exponents - first!)

  • even degree, positive leading coefficient
  • odd degree, positive leading coefficient
  • even degree, negative leading coefficient
  • odd degree, negative leading coefficient
  • x4 + 3x3 - 6x
  • 3x3 - 6x
  • 6x2 - 3x3
  • x - 5x2 + 4x4
  • x\rightarrow\infty, f(x)\rightarrow\infty
    x\rightarrow -\infty, f(x)\rightarrow\infty
  • x\rightarrow\infty, f(x)\rightarrow\infty
    x\rightarrow -\infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty
  • x\rightarrow\infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty
    x\rightarrow -\infty, f(x)\rightarrow\infty
  • x\rightarrow\infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty
    x\rightarrow -\infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty
Question 12
12.

REVIEW

Simplify
(3x-2)^{2} - \frac{5x^{3} - 6x}{x}

Write your answer as a polynomial in standard form, no spaces.
