Factoring Complex Trinomials (2021)

If you were asked to factor $$3x^2-2x-5$$  

What would you do first?

If you were asked to factor $$3x^2-2x-5$$  

After multiplying, the product is -15, what is the new simple trinomial?

What are the two sets of ( ) when factoring $$x^2-2x-15$$  ?

(select 2)

If the original trinomial was $$3x^2-2x-5$$  , what number would you add to each set of ( )?

If you have $$\left(3x+5\right)$$   as one of your ( ), can it reduce?

If you have $$\left(3x+3\right)$$  as one of your ( ), can it be reduced?

What does $$\left(3x+3\right)$$   reduce to?

Now, try to factor this trinomial on your own.

$$3x^2-8x+4$$
