Step-by-step solution for: Algebra 2 Quadratic Equations Review Activity - Math Educational Resources | Ten Tors Math
It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a list of quadratic expressions labeled A through I. However, there is no specific task or question stated in the image — just the equations.
To help you properly, I’ll assume the intended task is one of the following common ones:
> "Factor each of the given quadratic expressions."
Let’s go through each expression and factor it (if possible). If factoring isn’t possible over integers, we'll note that.

We need two numbers that multiply to +15 and add to -16.
- Factors of 15: (1,15), (3,5)
- Try: -1 and -15 → (-1) + (-15) = -16 ✔
So:
$$
x^2 - 16x + 15 = (x - 1)(x - 15)
$$
---
Need two numbers that multiply to -15 and add to +2.
- Try: 5 and -3 → 5 × (-3) = -15, 5 + (-3) = 2 ✔
$$
x^2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
$$
---
Rewriting in standard form:
$$
-x^2 + 4x - 13
$$
Multiply by -1 to make leading coefficient positive:
$$
x^2 - 4x + 13
$$
Now check discriminant: $ D = (-4)^2 - 4(1)(13) = 16 - 52 = -36 < 0 $
No real roots → cannot factor over real numbers.
So original expression:
$$
4x - x^2 - 13 = -x^2 + 4x - 13 \quad \text{(Cannot be factored over reals)}
$$
---
Need two numbers that multiply to 12, add to -8.
- Try: -6 and -2 → (-6)(-2)=12, (-6)+(-2)=-8 ✔
$$
x^2 - 8x + 12 = (x - 6)(x - 2)
$$
---
Rewrite:
$$
-x^2 + 12x - 35
$$
Multiply by -1:
$$
x^2 - 12x + 35
$$
Find two numbers that multiply to 35, add to -12.
- Try: -7 and -5 → (-7)(-5)=35, (-7)+(-5)=-12 ✔
So:
$$
x^2 - 12x + 35 = (x - 7)(x - 5)
\Rightarrow -x^2 + 12x - 35 = -(x - 7)(x - 5)
$$
Or:
$$
E = -(x - 7)(x - 5)
$$

Two numbers that multiply to 15, add to -8.
- Try: -5 and -3 → (-5)(-3)=15, (-5)+(-3)=-8 ✔
$$
x^2 - 8x + 15 = (x - 5)(x - 3)
$$
---
Check discriminant:
$ D = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(12) = 36 - 48 = -12 < 0 $
No real roots → cannot factor over reals
So:
$$
x^2 - 6x + 12 \quad \text{does not factor over real numbers}
$$
---
Need two numbers that multiply to -5, add to -4.
- Try: -5 and +1 → (-5)(1) = -5, (-5)+1 = -4 ✔
$$
x^2 - 4x - 5 = (x - 5)(x + 1)
$$
---
Two numbers that multiply to 10, add to 7.
- Try: 5 and 2 → 5×2=10, 5+2=7 ✔
$$
x^2 + 7x + 10 = (x + 5)(x + 2)
$$
---

💡 Note: Some expressions were written in non-standard order (like E and C), so I rewrote them in standard form ($ ax^2 + bx + c $) before factoring.
If your actual task was different (e.g., solving equations, graphing, finding zeros, matching pairs, etc.), please clarify and I can adjust accordingly!

🔹 A: $ x^2 - 16x + 15 $
We need two numbers that multiply to +15 and add to -16.
- Factors of 15: (1,15), (3,5)
- Try: -1 and -15 → (-1) + (-15) = -16 ✔
So:
$$
x^2 - 16x + 15 = (x - 1)(x - 15)
$$

🔹 B: $ x^2 + 2x - 15 $
Need two numbers that multiply to -15 and add to +2.
- Try: 5 and -3 → 5 × (-3) = -15, 5 + (-3) = 2 ✔

🔹 C: $ 4x - x^2 - 13 $
Rewriting in standard form:
$$
-x^2 + 4x - 13

Multiply by -1 to make leading coefficient positive:
$$
x^2 - 4x + 13
$$
Now check discriminant: $ D = (-4)^2 - 4(1)(13) = 16 - 52 = -36 < 0 $
No real roots → cannot factor over real numbers.
So original expression:

x^2 - 12x + 35
$$
Find two numbers that multiply to 35, add to -12.
- Try: -7 and -5 → (-7)(-5)=35, (-7)+(-5)=-12 ✔
So:
$$
x^2 - 12x + 35 = (x - 7)(x - 5)

$$
Or:
$$
E = -(x - 7)(x - 5)
$$
---
🔹 F: $ x^2 - 8x + 15 $
Two numbers that multiply to 15, add to -8.
- Try: -5 and -3 → (-5)(-3)=15, (-5)+(-3)=-8 ✔

---
🔹 G: $ x^2 - 6x + 12 $
Check discriminant:
$ D = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(12) = 36 - 48 = -12 < 0 $
No real roots → cannot factor over reals
So:
$$
x^2 - 6x + 12 \quad \text{does not factor over real numbers}
$$
