3) Factorise the following.

a x2 + 7x + 6 b t2 + 4t + 4 c m2 + 11m + 10 d k2 + 11k + 24
e p2 + 10p + 24 f r2 + 11r + 18 g w2 + 9w + 18 h x2 + 8x + 12
i a2 + 13a + 12 j k2 – 10k + 21 k f2 – 22f + 21 l b2 + 35b + 96

4) Each of these is the difference of two squares. Factorise them.

a x2 – 81 b t2 – 36 c 4 – x2 d 81 – t2
e k2 – 400 f 64 – y2 g a 2 – b2 h a2 – 9b2
i 9x2 – 25y2 j 9x2 – 16 k 100t2 – 4w2 l 36a2 – 49b2
