MYP Math
Practice 3

Name: Grade 10– MYP Year 5 (A, B, C, D, E)

Objectives: Factorize quadratic expressions

Difference of two squares:

Perfect square factorization:

1
Question One:
Factorize the following: (Remember to take common factor if needed)
2
a) 3 x −15

3( x2 – 5)

b) (x−4)2−9

x2-8x +16 -9
x2 – 8x + 7
(x-7) (x+1)

c) x 2−6 x +9

(x-3) (x-3)

d) 9 x 2+ 12 x +4 9 x4 = 36
sum =12

9x2 +6x + 6x + 4

3x( x+2) + 3( x+2)

(3x+3) (x+2 )
