Factorisation Home learning

1) Review of prior learning
a) What is the HCF of 15 and 40?
b) Write 0.02705 in standard form
c) On the back of this page (or in
your book), draw a bar chart for
this table:
d) Compute 2(𝑥 3 )3
e) Calculate 𝑤 12 ÷ 𝑤 3
f) Circle the cube numbers, put the
square numbers in squares, and
underline all primes
1 3 6 8 9 12 25 36 64 71 82 125 256
2) Factorise the following

Eg) 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 4 = d) 𝑥 2 − 1
(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 + 4)
2
a) 𝑥 + 10𝑥 + 21 e) 𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 10

b) 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 1 f) 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 − 6

c) 𝑥 2 + 121𝑥 + 120 g) 𝑥 2 − 18𝑥 + 56

3) Challenge (wait till after Thursday’s lesson to try these)

a) Factorise 3𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 2

b) Solve the equation 𝑥 2 − 9𝑥 + 20 = 0

12𝑥+18𝑥 2
c) Simplify the fraction
2+3𝑥
