Structures rar eae FACTORISATION FACTORS When an algebraic expression can be written as the product of two or more expressions, then each of these expressions is called a factor of the given expression. FACTORISATION The process of finding two or more expressions whose product is the given expression is called factorisation. NOTE AOORISAISEE SHITE ceveRSEprocess.ofmulkiplication> EXAMPLE Look at the examples given below. Product Factorisation (i) 8x(4x ~5y) =12x? -15xy -15xy =3x(4x -5y) (if) (x +3)(x-2) = x? + x-6 x + 3)(x=2) (ili) (2a + 3b)(2a -3b) -9b - 9b =(2a + 3b\(2a -3b) 1. FACTORISATION WHEN ASSGMMGNIMONOMIAB FACTOR OCCURS IN EACH TERM METHOD Step 1. Find theif all the terms of the given expression. Step 2. Divide each term of the given expression by this HCF. Step 3. Write the given expression as the product of this HCF and the quotient obtained in step 2. EXAMPLE. Factorise each of the following: (5x +20 (i) 2n? +3n (uty) 3x7y —6xy? (ww) Gab -9be Solution We have: (i) 5x +20 =5(x +4) (ii) 2n? +3n =n(2n +3) (iit) 3x*y -6xy? = 3xy(x-2y) _ (iv) 6ab - 9be = 3b(2a-3c) 2. FACTORISATION WHEN A BINOMIAL 1S COMMON, METHOD Step 1. Find the common binomial. Step 2. Write the given expression as the product of this binomial and the quotient obtained on dividing the given expression by this binomial. euMPLEa — Factorise: ( 5at2x-3y) + 2b2x-3y) (i 84x +5y) 12(4x +5y) We have () Sal2x -3y) + 2b2x - 3y) (i) 8(4.x + 5y)? ~1214x +5y) (2x -3y)(5a +2b). (4.x + 5y) (24x +5y)-3) 4(Ax + 5y (Bx +10y ~3), 3. FACTORISATION BY GROUPING Sometimes the terms of the given expression need to be arranged in suitable groups in such a way that all the groups have a common factor. After this arrangement factorisation becomes easy. METHOD Step 1. Arrange the terms of the given expression in groups in such a way that all the groups have a common factor. Step 2. Factorise each group. Step 3. Take out the factor which ts common to all such groups. EuweLes — Factorise: (a? +be+ab+ac (i) ax? + by? + bx? +ay? Solution By Suitably rearranging the terms, we have () a? +be+ab+ac =a? +ab+ac+be =ala+b)+cla+b) =(a+bla+o. ) ax? + by? +bx* +ay? = ax? +ay + bx? +by® = atx? +?) + bi? +y?) = (x2 +y a+b), EXERCISE 7A Factorise: 1.
