Read all directions carefully.
1) Factor x^2+5x+6

2) What is the complete facorized form of:

2x^2-7x+3
a) (2x+1)(x+3)
b) (2x-1)(x-3)
c) (x-3)(x+1)
d) (x-7)(2x+4)
.

3) Factor using the quadratic method:

3x^2+10x-25

4) A dolphin jumps out of the water with an initial velocity of 20 feet per second (assume its starting
height is 0 ft). Use vertical motion model, h=-16t^2+vt+s, where v is initial velocity in feet/second
and s is starting height in feet, to calculate the amount of time the dolphin is in the air before it
hits the water again. Round your answer two decimal places. Time in air:____________seconds.

5) Use the box method to factor:

6r^2-2r-8

6) Use factoring by grouping to factor:

10g^2+9g+2
