Solved Examples on Factorization
Using common factor
1) 4x + 8
Here , 4 is a common factor
4( x +2 ) are the factors .
------------------------------------------------------------
2) 8x^2 + 4x
Here , 4x is a common factor
= 4x( 2x +1) are the factors.
-------------------------------------------------------------
3) 3x^3 + 6x^2 + 9
Here, 3 is a common factor
= 3( x 3 + 2x 2 3
are the factors.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Using Identities
1) 4x 2 + 20 x +25
Here first and last term are perfect square so we will use an identity of
(2x ) 2 + 2 (2x)(5) +(5) 2
=(2x + 5) 2
Factors are (2x +5)(2x +5)
---------------------------------------------------------------
2) 9x 2 - 6x +1
Here first and last term are perfect square so we will use an identity of
(3x ) 2 - 2 (3x)(5) +(1) 2
=(3x - 1) 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
3) a 2 - b 2 - c 2 + d 2 - 2(ad - bc)
Solution :
a 2 - b 2 - c 2 + d 2 - 2(ad - bc)
= a 2 - b 2 - c 2 + d 2 - 2ad + 2bc)
= (a 2 + d 2 - 2ad) + ( -b 2 - c 2 + 2bc)
= (a 2 - 2ad + d 2 ) - ( b 2 - 2bc + c 2 )
= (a - d) 2 - (b - c) 2
= ( a - d + b - c)[a - d -(b - c)][ use a 2 - b 2 = (a + b)(a - b)]
= ( a - d + b - c)(a - d - b + c)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4) a 4 - 81
Solution :
a 4 - 81
= (a 2 ) 2 - (9) 2
= (a 2 + 9)(a 2 - 9)
= (a 2 + 9)[a 2 -(3) 2 ] [ use a 2 - b 2 = (a + b)(a - b)]
= (a 2 + 9)(a + 3)(a - 3) [ use a 2 - b 2 = (a + b)(a - b)]
