Which expression is equivalent to $\dfrac{15p}{r} + 15p$ , where $r > 0$ ?

Write $15p$ with denominator $r$ : $\dfrac{15p}{r} + \dfrac{15pr}{r} = \dfrac{15p + 15pr}{r} = \dfrac{15p(r + 1)}{r}$ .

$x^3 - 8 = 0$ . What is the real root?

$x^3 - 8 = (x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0$ . The quadratic factor has no real roots, so the only real root is $x = 2$ .

Factor: $x^{2} - 16$ .

$x^{2} - 16$ is a difference of squares: $x^{2} - 4^{2}$ . So $x^{2} - 16 = (x + 4)(x - 4)$ .

Which expression is equivalent to $x^{2} - 100\textsf{?}$

$x^{2} - 100 = x^{2} - 10^{2} = (x - 10)(x + 10)\textsf{.}$

Practice playeasy

Which is the completely factored form of $5x^{2} + 10x$ ?

The greatest common factor of $5x^{2}$ and $10x$ is $5x\textsf{.}$ Factoring gives $5x(x + 2)$ .

Practice playeasy

Which expression is equivalent to $x^{2} - 64$ ?

$x^{2} - 64 = x^{2} - 8^{2} = (x - 8)(x + 8)$ .
