Q

Factorise 8x+20

A

Look for HCF. HCF goes outside the brackets.
How many times does 4 go into 8x?
How many times does 4 go into 20?

4(2x+5)

2
Q

Factorise 15y - 10a+5

A

5(3y-2a+1)

3
Q

Factorise 6a+3ab

A

3a(2+b)

4
Q

Factorise 18a^2b-24ab

A

6ab(3a-4)

5
Q

Factorise

X^2+8x+15

A

5+3=8
5x3=15

(X+3)(X+5)

6
Q

Factorise

X^2+10x+24

A

(X+4)(X+6)

7
Q

Factorise

X^2+2x-15

A

(X-3)(x+5)

8
Q

Factorise

X^2-7x+12

A

(X-3)(x-4)

9
Q

10
Q

Factorise

3x^2-7x-6

A

Smiley face

3x+2)(x-3

11
Q

What is the rule for factorising two squares?

A

a^2-b^2= (a-b)(a+b)

12
Q

Factorise x^2-16

A

15 is a square number
Rule: a^2-b^2= (a-b)(a+b)

=x^2-4^2
=(x-4)(X+4)

13
Q

Factorise

X^2-100

A

100 is a square number
Rule: a^2-b^2= (a-b)(a+b)

X^2-10^2
(X-10)(x+10)

14
Q

Factorise

9y^2-25

A

25 is a square number
Rule: a^2-b^2= (a-b)(a+b)
=(3y)^2-5^2

Just 3y^2 would cause only the y to be squared, brackets make it all of it

15
Q

Factorise

9-x^2

A

=3^2-x^2

=(3-x)(3+X)

16
Q

Factorise 3(x+4)+2x(x+4)

A

(X+4)(3+2x)

17
Q

Factorise 4(x+1)^2+3x(x+1)

A

(Only the (x+1) is squared)
=(x+1)(4(x+1)+3x)
=(x+1)(4x+4+3x)
=(x+1)(7x+4)

18
Q

Factorise 2(x+3)^3+3x(x+3)^2

A

=(x+3)^2`(2(x+3)+3x)
(X+3)^2(2x+6+3x)
(X+3)^2(5x+6)
