Exercise 7:04 Foundation Worksheet 7:04

Factorising trinomials
1 Which two integers:
1 Factorise each of these trinomials. a add to b multiply to
give 4? give 5?
a x2 + 4x + 3 b x2 + 3x + 2 2 Factorise:
2
c x + 6x + 5 d x2 + 7x + 6 a m2 + 8m + 9 b n2 − 3n + 2

e x2 + 9x + 20 f x2 + 10x + 25
g x2 + 12x + 36 h x2 + 10x + 21 i x2 + 9x + 18
2
j x + 14x + 40 k x2 + 15x + 54 l x2 + 13x + 36
m x − 4x + 4
2 n x2 − 12x + 36 o x2 − 7x + 12
p x − 9x + 20
2 q x2 + 2x − 3 r x2 + x − 12
s x + 4x − 12
2 t x2 + 7x − 30 u x2 − x − 2
v x2 − 10x − 24 w x2 − 7x − 30 x x2 − x − 56

2 A man passing a beggar in the street exclaimed,
‘I am that beggar’s father!’ But the beggar was
not the man’s son. How can this be?
3 Two guards are guarding two sacks.
One guard always tells the truth, but the
other guard always lies, but you do not
know which guard is which. One of the
sacks is full of gold; the other is full of
peanuts. You are permitted to take one
of the sacks but you are not sure which one contains the gold.
You are also allowed to ask one of the guards just one question.
What question should you ask to ensure you get the sack of gold?
