1. Are the following factored correctly or incorrectly? If they are correct, mark ”correct”, and if they are incorrect, factor it correctly.

a. x2 − 5x − 6 b. 4m2 + 20m + 25 c. −x2 + 16x − 60 = (x − 2)(x − 3) = (2m + 5)2 = (−x − 10)(x + 6)

2. Factor the following fully. Remember, it is possible that they may not be able to be factored, in which case they are called prime.
