polynomials 3 KIPP/2014/_________________ Math/Homework
Mission: KWBAT unwrap the FOIL to factor a trinomial
of the form ax2 ± bc ± c.

Part 1: Open response

 Respond to each question in complete sentences.

1) What is the first thing you need to look for before factoring any
polynomial?

2) What are the steps to reversing FOIL?

Part 2: Factoring
 Factor using the steps we learned in class today. Remember to look for a
GCF.
 Show at least 2 options.

3) 3x2+8x+4 4) 6x2-11x+4 5) 5x2-6x+1

6) 12x3+12x2+3x 7)4x2+27x-40 8) 4x2-25x-21

Part 3: Factoring Spiral

 Factor completely by unwrapping the FOIL. Remember to look for a GCF.

9) x2+6x-27 10) 3x2-15x-150

 Factor completely using differences of squares. Remember to look for a

GCF.

11) 49x2-64 12) 2x3y8-128xz2

 Factor completely using perfect square trinomials. Remember to look for a

GCF.

Honors Homework

15) A rectangle has an area of 7x2 - 31x + 12. Write an expression for the
length of the rectangle and an expression for the width.

16) A square has an area of 9x2 + 60x + 100. Write an expression for the
length of one side.

17) A triangle has an area of x2 – 3x – 10. Write expressions for the base and
height of the triangle.

18) Solve the equation: x–5=0

19) Solve the equation (You will have to use some deductive reasoning: What
does it mean if a product equals zero?)

x(x + 5) = 0

Mixed Answer Key

2x + 4 and x–5

3x + 10

7x – 3 and x – 4

x=5

x = 0 or x = -5
