Review of Unit 8 Learning Target 5, 6, and 7

Learning Target 5: I can factor a GCF from a polynomial expression.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor
1. 3 x 3+ 6 x 2 −12 x 2. −15 x 5 +25 x 4 − 10 x 3

__3x__ _______5x^3__________________

3. 16 a b 3 −6 a2 b2 − 18 b4 4. −14 x 3 y +28 x2 y 2 − 7 x2

2b^2__________________ -7x^2_______________________

Learning Target 6: I can factor a four-term polynomial using the grouping method.

Factor each polynomial completely.

5. 15 x 3 −25 x 2 − 3 x+5 6. 12 a3 +24 a 2 −21 a − 42

(3x-5)(5x^2-1) (3a+6)(4a^2-7)

9. In 2011, you placed $550 in a money market which has a 2% APR (annual percentage rate).
a) Is this an example of exponential growth or decay? Explain how you know.
Exponential growth, because you earn 2% APR every year.

b) What is the initial amount? What is the exponential base?

550 is the initial amount, the exponential base is 1.02 (100%+2%=102% 102%/100=1.02)

c) Write an equation to represent the account balance in your money market.

Y=550(1.02)^x

d) What is the account balance in 2021?

Y=550(1.02)^1=561

10. (2a 2 +6a +3)(7a 2 − 6a + 1)

=14a^4-12a^3+2a+42a^3-36a^2+6a+21a^2-18a+3
=14a^4+30a^3-15a^2-10a+3
11. (7u 2 + 8uv − 6v 2 )(6u 2 +4uv + 3v 2 )
=42u^4+28u^3v+21v^4+48u^3v+32u^2v^2+24uv^3-36v^2u^2-24uv^3-18v^4
=42u^4+76u^3v+3v^4-4u^2v^2
