# Factoring Polynomials This is a worksheet or quiz focused on factoring polynomials. It involves connecting polynomials with their respective factors, identifying incorrect statements about the factors of trinomials, and matching trinomials to the students who wrote them. **3) Connecting Polynomials to Factors:** * The task is to draw lines linking the polynomials with their corresponding factor pairs. Several options are given, and not all choices may be used. **Examples:** * $x^2 + 2x - 63$ is correctly paired with $(x+9)$ and $(x-7)$. * $8x - 65$ doesn't have any apparent factors given in the choices. **4) Correcting Incorrect Statements About Factors:** * The task is to identify incorrect statements about the factors of given trinomials. **Examples:** * For $x^2 - 12x + 32$, the incorrect statement is that "The factors should have a sum of -12." **5) Matching Trinomials to Students:** * The task is to match the trinomials to different students based on given clues about the factors' signs and the product/sum of the factors. **Examples:** * Clues are given to match students' trinomials. **Clues** * Clues related to signs of factors (positive/negative) and the product of factors are given **Summary:** The worksheet is designed as a practice exercise to reinforce the skills required to factor polynomials and recognize polynomial factors. Several stages for factoring polynomial are used, and the different stages of finding factors are outlined. Completing the worksheet would require the student to correctly factor the trinomials, recognize incorrect statements and matching the trinomials to corresponding students.
