Answer 1

Part A: Factor 3x2y2 − xy2 − 2y2. Show your work. (4 points)
3x^2y^2 − xy^2 − 2y^2
y^2 ( 3x^2 - x -2 )
y^2 (3x+2)( x - 1)

Part B: Factor x^2 + 6x + 9. Show your work. (3 points)
x^2 + 6x + 9
= x^2 + 2*3x + 3^2
= (x+3)(x+3)
= (x+3)^2

Part C: Factor x2 − 25. Show your work. (3 points)
x^2 - 5^2
(x-5)(x+5)

Answer 2
