2. 𝑏2 + 2𝑏 − 48 (𝑏 − 6)(𝑏 + 8) dark blue

3. 𝑏2 − 5𝑏 + 6 (𝑏 − 2)(𝑏 − 3) teal

4. 𝑏2 − 4𝑏 − 32 (𝑏 − 8)(𝑏 + 4) purple

5. 𝑎2 + 10𝑎 + 21 (𝑎 + 3)(𝑎 + 7) dark blue

6. 𝑏2 − 4𝑏 − 45 (𝑏 + 5)(𝑏 − 9) teal

7. 𝑎2 − 13𝑎 + 40 (𝑎 − 5)(𝑎 − 8) green

8. 𝑎2 + 4𝑎 − 12 (𝑎 − 2)(𝑎 + 6) dark blue

9. 2𝑥2 + 6𝑥 − 108 2(𝑥 + 9)(𝑥 − 6) teal

10. 𝑏2 − 2𝑏 − 35 (𝑏 − 7)(𝑏 + 5) Purple

11. 5𝑥2 + 10𝑥 + 20 5(𝑥2 + 2𝑥 + 4) Dark blue

12. 𝑏2 + 22𝑏 + 121 (𝑏 + 11)2 Green

13. 6𝑥2 + 66𝑥 + 60 6(𝑥 + 10)(𝑥 + 1) Teal

14. 𝑎2 + 𝑎 − 20 (𝑎 − 4)(𝑎 + 5) Teal

15. 4𝑥2 − 4𝑥 − 8 4(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 2) Dark blue
