COMPLETELY FACTORISE THE FOLLOWING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

a. 6x2+10x+3x+5
(6X2 +3x) (10x+5)
3x(2x+1) 5(2x+1)
= (2x+1) (3x+5)
b. 6 -3x+2x -x2
(6 -3x) (2x – x2)
3(2 -x) x(2 -x)
= (2 -x) (3+x)
c. 12x2+20x-9x-15
(12x2 -9x) (20x -15)
3x(4x -3) 5(4x – 3)
= (4x -3) (3x+5)
d. 35x2+15x+14x+6
(35x2+15x) (14x+6)
5x(7x+3) 2(7x+3)
= (7x+3) (5x+2)
e. 6+18x+15x+45x2
(6+18x) (15x+45x2)
6(1+3x) 15x(1+3x)
(1+3x) (6+15x)
= (1+3x) 3(2+ 5x)
f. 3xy-5x+6y-10
(3xy+6y) (-5x -10)
3y(x+2) -5(x+2)
= (x+2) (3y -5)

g. 40-70x-24x+42x2
(40-70x) (-24x+42x2)
10(4 -7x) -6x(4 -7x)
(4 -7x) (10 -6x)
=(4-7x) 2(5 -3x)
h. 28+12x-35x-15x2
(28+12x) (-35 -15x2)
4(7+3x) -5x(7+3x)
= (7+3x) (4 -5x)

FACTORISE THE FOLLOWING BY EITHER

PERFECT SQUARES OR DIFFERENCE OF
TWO SQUARES

a. 16+40x+25x2
(4 +5x) (4+5x)
42+2(4) (5X) +5X2
= (4+5x)2
b. 64p2+48pq+9q2
(8p + 3q) (8p+3q)
8p2+2(8p) (3q)+3q2
= (8p+3q)2

c. 64 – 144x +81x2
(8-9x) (8-9x)
82+2(8) (-9x) -9x2
= (8-9x)2

d. 81r2 – 72rs +16s2

(9r-4s) (9r-4s)
9r2 +2(9r) (-4s) -4s2
= (9r-4s)2
e. 36 – 49y2
(6-7y) (6-7y)
= (6-7y)2
f. 36k2 – 25l2
(6k -5l) (6k -5l)
= (6k -5l)3
g. x2 – 144
(x -12) (x -12)
= (x -12)
