WORKSHEET:1

1. When we factorise an expression, we write it as a product of factors. These factors may be numbers,
algebraic variables or algebraic expressions. 2. An irreducible factor is a factor which cannot be expressed
further as a product of factors. 3. A systematic way of factorising an expression is the common factor
method. It consists of three steps: (i) Write each term of the expression as a product of irreducible factors
(ii) Look for and separate the common factors and (iii) Combine the remaining factors in each term in
accordance with the distributive law. 4. Sometimes, all the terms in a given expression do not have a
common factor; but the terms can be grouped in such a way that all the terms in each group have a
common factor. When we do this, there emerges a common factor across all the groups leading to the
required factorisation of the expression. This is the method of regrouping. 5. In factorisation by
regrouping, we should remember that any regrouping (i.e., rearrangement) of the terms in the given
expression may not lead to factorisation. We must observe the expression and come out with the desired
regrouping by trial and error. 6. A number of expressions to be factorised are of the form or can be put
into the form : a2 + 2 ab + b2 , a2 – 2ab + b2 , a2 – b2 and x2 + (a + b) + ab.

These expressions can be easily factorised using Identities:


a2 + 2ab + b2 =(a + b)2
a2 – 2ab + b2 =(a – b)2
a2 – b2 =(a + b) (a – b)
x2 + (a + b) x + ab =(x + a) (x + b)
7. In expressions which have factors of the type (x + a) (x + b), remember the numerical term gives ab. Its
factors, a and b, should be so chosen that their sum, with signs taken care of, is the coefficient of x. 8. We
know that in the case of numbers, division is the inverse of multiplication. This idea is applicable also to
the division of algebraic expressions. 9. In the case of division of a polynomial by a monomial, we may
carry out the division either by dividing each term of the polynomial by the monomial or by the common
factor method. 10. In the case of division of a polynomial by a polynomial, we cannot proceed by dividing
each term in the dividend polynomial by the divisor polynomial. Instead, we factorise both the
polynomials and cancel their common factors. 11. In the case of divisions of algebraic expressions that we
studied in this chapter, we have Dividend = Divisor × Quotient. In general, however, the relation is
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder Thus, we have considered in the present chapter only those
divisions in which the remainder is zero. 12. There are many errors students commonly make when
solving algebra exercises. You should avoid making such errors.
