Factorisation
Points to Remember
? When we factorize an algebraic expression, we write it as a product of its factors.
These factors are either numbers or algebraic variables or algebraic expressions.
? We use following methods of factorisation:
? Method of common factors
? Regrouping method
? Factorisation using following identities:
? ?? ?? + ?????? + ?? ?? = (?? + ?? )
??
? ?? ?? - ?????? + ?? ?? = (?? - ?? )
??
? ?? ?? - ?? ?? = (?? - ?? )(?? + ?? )
? ?? ?? + (?? + ?? )?? + ???? = (?? + ?? )(?? + ?? )
? An irreducible factor is a factor which cannot be expressed further as a product
of factors (i.e. prime factor for numbers) eg. ?? + ?? , ?? + ?? , ?? - ?? etc.
? The general relation for division is:
???????????????? = ?????????????? × ???????????????? + ???????????????? ??
? If Remainder = 0, then divisor is a factor of dividend. Eg.
?? ?? +???? +?? ?? +?? =
(?? +?? )
?? ?? +?? = ?? + ??
? The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its variables.e.g. the degree of
the polynomial ?? ?? + ?? ?? ?? - ???? + ?? is 3
QUESTIONS:
1. What is the degree of algebraic expression ?? ?? + ???? + ?? ?
2. If ?? +
