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

  2.   Factor the trinomial x2 + 13x + 36.
    A. (x + 9)(x + 4) B. (x + 2)(x + 18)
    C. (x + 6)(x + 6) D. (x + 3)(x + 12)
    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(x + 3)(x – 5)
    C. 2(x2 – 2x – 15) 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 the trinomial x2 – 5x + 6.
    A. (x – 3)(x – 2) B. (x + 6)(x – 1)
    C. (x – 6)(x – 1) D. (x + 3)(x – 2)
    Hint
