    B. x2 + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)(x + 1)
    C. x2 + 3x + 4 = (x + 1)(x + 3)
    D. x2 + 9x + 14 = (x + 7)(x + 2)
    Hint

  2.   Factor the trinomial x2 – 5x + 6.
    A. (x – 6)(x – 1) B. (x + 6)(x – 1)
    C. (x – 3)(x – 2) D. (x + 3)(x – 2)
    Hint

  3.   Factor the trinomial x2 – 2x – 15.
    A. (x – 5)(x – 3) B. (x – 2)(x + 7)
    C. (x – 2)(x – 7) D. (x – 5)(x + 3)
    Hint

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

  5.   Find the area of the surface of the table. Express the answer in factored form.
   
    A. (x – 10)(x + 4) ft2 B. (x – 10)(x – 4) ft2
    C. (x + 10)(x – 4) ft2 D. (x + 10)(x + 4) ft2
    Hint
