Mixed Factoring Problems
Yes, we’re talking about Factoring!
Each of the following problems has been factored:
8x2y3-12x3y2 = 4x2y2(2y – 3x)
4ab + 2ac + 2bx + cx = (2b+c)(2a + x)
6x2 + 7xy – 3y2 = (3x – y)(2x + 3y)
9x2 – 16 = (3x + 4)(3x – 4)
2x3-16x2 + 30x = 2x(x – 3)(x – 5)
Remember that factors multiply together to obtain the original expression. Enter the Web site by clicking on the first choice above.
