Worksheet Worksheet 1
1.
Translate the diagram of algebra tiles into an equation.
2.
Use a diagram of algebra tiles to factor \(x^2 + 8x + 15\text{.}\) Draw the diagram and write the final equation.
3.
Fill in the appropriate value into the boxes, then use the method to factor the given quadratic polynomial using a complete presentation.
\begin{equation*}
x^2 + 8x + 15 \longrightarrow \left\{
\begin{array}{l}
\text{Multiply to $\boxed{\strut \phantom{.....}}$} \\
\text{Add to $\boxed{\strut \phantom{.....}}$}
\end{array}
\right.
\end{equation*}
