1.   Select the factorization that is not correct.
    A. x2 + 9x + 14 = (x + 7)(x + 2)
    B. x2 + 3x + 4 = (x + 1)(x + 3)
    C. x2 + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)(x + 1)
    D. x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)
    Hint

  2.   Factor the trinomial 4x3 – 24x2 – 108x.
    A. 4x(x – 9)(x + 3) B. (x – 9)(x + 3)
    C. 4x(x2 – 6x – 27) D. 4(x – 9x)(x + 3x)
    Hint

  3.   Refer to the diagram. A city park will use a portion of the park for a garden. The shaded region will be the area of the park without the garden. Express the area of the shaded region in factored form.
   
    A. (x + 3)(x – 5) B. 2(x2 – 2x – 15)
    C. 2(x + 3)(x – 5) D. 2(x – 3)(x + 5)
    Hint

  4.   Factor the trinomial x2 – 11x – 42.
    A. (x – 14)(x +3) B. (x + 14)(x – 3)
    C. (x + 14)(x + 3) D. (x – 14)(x – 3)
    Hint

  5.   Factor 3x2 – 10xy – 8y2.
    A. (x – 2y)(3x – 4y) B. (3x + 2y)(x – 4y)
    C. (3x – 2y)(x – 4y) D. (x + 2y)(3x – 4y)
    Hint
