Grade 10 Factorisation

- The document discusses factorizing algebraic expressions by identifying common factors, differences of squares, binomial factors of trinomials, and sums and differences of cubes. - It provides examples of factorizing expressions involving multiplying binomials and trinomials by single terms and other binomials/trinomials. - Techniques for factorizing quadratic trinomials are described, including identifying a common factor, writing the expression as two brackets with an x in each, and finding factors of the first and last terms.

Grade 10 Factorisation

05 March 2021
Lesson Description
› Show how to expand algebraic expression by multiplication
including:
– A binomial or trinomial by a single term
– A binomial by a binomial
– A binomial by a trinomial
› Show how to factorise algebraic expression:
– By finding a common factor (HCF)
– By identifying a difference of two squares
– By identifying the binomial factors of a trinomial
– By identifying a sum or difference of two cubes
– By using grouping in pairs
Key Concepts
Products
A products is formed when two or more numbers or
algebraic terms are multiplied together.

Revision: Laws of Multiplication


Commutative Law : the order of multiplication does not
matter.

Associative Law: when more than two terms are multiplied


together, the order in which you multiply does not matter.
›Distributive
  Law: the law explains what happens when you
add or subtract and multiply numbers or algebraic terms
together in the same expression.
Example:
Multiplying a binomial/trinomial by a number
or a term
›Example
  1: (binomial by a number/term)

Example 2: (Trinomial by a number/term)

Finding Factors
This

different patterns you can look for to find factors
1. Removing a common factor

Factorising a quadratic trinomial
› 

Factorise:
 
› Take out any common factor in the coefficients of the
terms of the expression to obtain an expression of the form
where a, b and c have no common factors and a is positive.
› Write down two brackets with an x in each bracket and
space for the remaining terms:
› Write down a set of factors for a and c.
› Write down a set of options for the possible factors for the
quadratic using the factors of a and c.
› Expand all options to see which one gives you the correct
middle term bx.

Important!!!
If c is positive, then the factors of c must be either both positive or both negative. If c is
negative, it means only one of the factors of c is negative, the other one being positive. Once
you get an answer, always multiply out your brackets again just to make sure it really works.
