It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"8-6 Practice: Factoring Quadratic Trinomials". The task involves factoring quadratic trinomials of the form $ ax^2 + bx + c $, where $ a = 1 $ (i.e., monic quadratics). However, I cannot view or analyze images directly.
To help you solve the problems, please provide:
1.
The actual problems from the worksheet (you can type them out).
2. Any specific questions you have about factoring quadratic trinomials.
Alternatively, if you'd like, you can describe the format or structure of the problems (e.g., "Factor $ x^2 + 5x + 6 $" etc.), and I’ll walk you through the process step by step.
In the meantime, here’s a quick guide on how to factor quadratic trinomials when $ a = 1 $:

🔧 How to Factor $ x^2 + bx + c $
You want to find two numbers that:
- Multiply to $ c $ (the constant term)
- Add to $ b $ (the coefficient of the middle term)
Then write the trinomial as:
$$
x^2 + bx + c = (x + m)(x + n)
$$
where $ m $ and $ n $ are the two numbers found above.

✔ Example:
Factor $ x^2 + 7x + 10 $
- Find two numbers that multiply to 10 and add to 7.
- Pairs of factors of 10: (1,10), (2,5)
- 2 and 5: $ 2 \times 5 = 10 $, $ 2 + 5 = 7 $ → Yes!
- So: $ x^2 + 7x + 10 = (x + 2)(x + 5) $
