1 More about Factorization of Polynomials

1.1 Review on Simple Factorization

Name: _________________________ Class: ___________

Objective: Review the concept and basic techniques of factorization.

Key Points
1. We can factorize algebraic expressions by taking out common factors.
e.g. 4ax + 6xy = 2x(2a) + 2x(3y)  2x is the common factor of 4ax and 6xy.
= 2x(2a + 3y)

2. We can factorize algebraic expressions by the grouping terms method.


e.g. ax + ay + bx + by  a is the common factor of ax and ay, while b is the common factor of bx and by.
= a(x + y) + b(x + y)  x + y is the common factor of a(x + y) and b(x + y).
= (x + y)(a + b)

Factorize the following expressions. (1 – 6)


1. 50 p 2 q  35 p3 q 2 ~ Example 1.1(b) 4. 8( p  9)  (9  p)2
= =

2. 12a 3  3a 2 (a  2) 5. 3a 2  10b  6ab  5a ~ Example 1.3(b)


= 

3. 5(a  3)  2u(3  a) ~ Example 1.2


6. 12  36 x3  9 x 2  48x ~ Example 1.3(c)
= 

Key Points
We can factorize algebraic expressions by using identities.
(a) Difference of two squares
a2 – b2 ≡ (a + b)(a – b)
e.g. x2 – 16 = x2 – 42
= (x + 4)(x – 4)
(b) Perfect square
(i) a2 + 2ab + b2 ≡ (a + b)2 (ii) a2 – 2ab + b2 ≡ (a – b)2
e.g. x2 + 6x + 9 = x2 + 2(x)(3) + 32 e.g. 4x2 – 4x + 1 = (2x)2 – 2(2x)(1) + 12
= (x + 3)2 = (2x – 1)2
