Sneak Peek:
, Factorizing
ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS
Terminology:
FACTORIZATION: The inverse process of simplification. This is when we write an
expression as a product of its factors.
TYPES OF FACTORSATION:
We use the number of terms to decide which method to use.
HCF For any number of terms.
HIGHEST COMMON
FACTOR
ax+bx=x(a+b)
DOTS For two terms.
DIFFERENCE OF
TWO SQUARES a2 -b2 =(a+b)(a-b)
Trinomial For three terms.
‘TRI’ MEANS 2
THREE x +(a+b)x+(axb)=(x+a)(x+b)
Grouping For four terms.
GROUP INTO
PAIRS ax+bx+ay+by = x(a+b)+y(a+b)=(a+b)(x+y)
