Math quiz with multiple-choice questions on algebra and polynomials.

Let's solve each problem step by step.

Problem 6:

John has mowed 3 lawns. If he can mow 2 lawns per hour, which equation describes the number of lawns, \( m \), he can complete after \( h \) more hours?

#### Solution:
1. John has already mowed 3 lawns.
2. He can mow 2 lawns per hour.
3. After \( h \) more hours, the number of additional lawns he will mow is \( 2h \).
4. The total number of lawns mowed after \( h \) more hours is the sum of the lawns he has already mowed and the lawns he will mow in the next \( h \) hours:
\[
m = 3 + 2h
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{C}
\]

Problem 7:

Simplify: \((-3a^2b^2)(4a^5b^3)^3\)

#### Solution:
1. First, simplify the term \((4a^5b^3)^3\):
\[
(4a^5b^3)^3 = 4^3 \cdot (a^5)^3 \cdot (b^3)^3
\]
Calculate each part:
\[
4^3 = 64, \quad (a^5)^3 = a^{15}, \quad (b^3)^3 = b^9
\]
So:
\[
(4a^5b^3)^3 = 64a^{15}b^9
\]

2. Now multiply \((-3a^2b^2)\) by \(64a^{15}b^9\):
\[
(-3a^2b^2)(64a^{15}b^9) = (-3 \cdot 64) \cdot (a^2 \cdot a^{15}) \cdot (b^2 \cdot b^9)
\]
Simplify each part:
\[
-3 \cdot 64 = -192, \quad a^2 \cdot a^{15} = a^{2+15} = a^{17}, \quad b^2 \cdot b^9 = b^{2+9} = b^{11}
\]
So:
\[
(-3a^2b^2)(64a^{15}b^9) = -192a^{17}b^{11}
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{D}
\]

Problem 8:

Multiply: \((2x+5)(3x^2-2x-4)\)

#### Solution:
Use the distributive property to expand the expression:
\[
(2x+5)(3x^2-2x-4) = 2x(3x^2-2x-4) + 5(3x^2-2x-4)
\]

1. Expand \(2x(3x^2-2x-4)\):
\[
2x \cdot 3x^2 = 6x^3, \quad 2x \cdot (-2x) = -4x^2, \quad 2x \cdot (-4) = -8x
\]
So:
\[
2x(3x^2-2x-4) = 6x^3 - 4x^2 - 8x
\]

2. Expand \(5(3x^2-2x-4)\):
\[
5 \cdot 3x^2 = 15x^2, \quad 5 \cdot (-2x) = -10x, \quad 5 \cdot (-4) = -20
\]
So:
\[
5(3x^2-2x-4) = 15x^2 - 10x - 20
\]

3. Add the two results:
\[
(6x^3 - 4x^2 - 8x) + (15x^2 - 10x - 20) = 6x^3 + (-4x^2 + 15x^2) + (-8x - 10x) - 20
\]
Simplify:
\[
6x^3 + 11x^2 - 18x - 20
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{A}
\]

Problem 9:

Which polynomial cannot be factored?

#### Solution:
We need to check each polynomial to see if it can be factored.

1. Polynomial A: \(3x^2 - 14x - 8\)
- Use the quadratic formula or factorization method:
\[
3x^2 - 14x - 8 = (3x + 2)(x - 4)
\]
- This polynomial can be factored.

2. Polynomial B: \(3x^2 - 10x - 8\)
- Use the quadratic formula or factorization method:
\[
3x^2 - 10x - 8 = (3x + 2)(x - 4)
\]
- This polynomial can be factored.

3. Polynomial C: \(3x^2 - 14x + 8\)
- Use the quadratic formula or factorization method:
\[
3x^2 - 14x + 8 = (3x - 2)(x - 4)
\]
- This polynomial can be factored.

4. Polynomial D: \(3x^2 + 10x - 8\)
- Use the quadratic formula or factorization method:
\[
3x^2 + 10x - 8 = (3x - 2)(x + 4)
\]
- This polynomial can be factored.

Since all the polynomials can be factored, there seems to be an error in the problem statement. However, based on the given options, none of them are unfactorable.

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{D}
\]

Problem 10:

What is the greatest common factor of \(12a^4b^2 - 3a^2b^5\)?

#### Solution:
1. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the terms \(12a^4b^2\) and \(3a^2b^5\):
- The GCF of the coefficients \(12\) and \(3\) is \(3\).
- The GCF of \(a^4\) and \(a^2\) is \(a^2\).
- The GCF of \(b^2\) and \(b^5\) is \(b^2\).
- Therefore, the GCF of the entire expression is:
\[
3a^2b^2
\]

2. Factor out \(3a^2b^2\) from the expression:
\[
12a^4b^2 - 3a^2b^5 = 3a^2b^2(4a^2 - b^3)
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{C}
\]
