1.  k^2+2k-24

1A. (k - 4) (k + 6)

2. 4k^2-1

2A. (2k + 1) (2k - 1)

3. 25b^2-30b+9

3A. (5b - 3)^2

4. x^2+11x+28=0

4A. x = (-4) OR (-7)

5. (3a+8)(3a^2-a-7)

5A. 9a^2 + 21a^2 - 29a - 56

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  k^2+2k-24

Factor using the AC factoring method.

k^2 = 2k

2k + 2k - 24

(k - 4) (k +6)

2. 4k^2-1

Use the Difference of Squares Formula: a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

2k = a

1 = b

(2k + 1)(2k - 1)

3. 25b^2-30b+9

Use the perfect square rule

(5b - 3)(5b - 3)

(5b - 3)^2

4. x^2+11x+28=0

Factor, by setting each factor equal to 0

x^2+11x+28=0

(x + 4)(x + 7) = 0

x = (-4) OR (-7)

5. (3a+8)(3a^2-a-7)

Simply, multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression, and then simplify.

(3a+8)(3a^2-a-7)

9a^2 + 21a^2 - 29a - 56
