Practice Factoring in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Rewriting an algebraic expression as a product of two or more simpler expressions that multiply to give the original.
Reverse distribution: instead of expanding (x+2)(x+3), you compress x^2 + 5x + 6 into the same product.
Example 1
easyFactor x^2 + 7x + 12.
Example 2
mediumFactor 6x^2 + 11x + 3.
Example 3
easyFactor x^2 - 16.
Example 4
mediumFactor 3x^2 - 12x.
