1) Determine the solutions of the following polynomials.

a) (3# + 2)(# + 9)(# − 2) = 0 b) (# ! + 1)(# − 4) = 0

2) Determine the solutions of the following polynomials by factoring. Use the tools you have learned this unit
to help you. (remainder theorem, integral zero theorem, division etc.)

a) # " − 4# ! − 3# + 18 = 0 b) # " − 3# ! − 4# + 12 = 0
Sum and difference of cubes

c) # # − # " − 11# ! + 9# + 18 = 0 d) # " − 64 = 0 ! + # = (! + #)(! − !# + #" )


! ! "

!! − #! = (! − #)(!" + !# + #" )

e) 2# " − 7# ! + 10# − 5 = 0
3) Solve each equation by first factoring the sum or difference of cubes.

a) # " − 8 = 0 b) # " + 27 = 0

4) Solve by factoring

a) # " − 4# ! − 7# + 10 = 0 b) 2# " − 11# ! + 12# + 9 = 0


c) # # − # " − 2# − 4 = 0
