1 TOPIC 7 Quadratic epressions 7.1 Overview Why learn this? How is your algeraic tool kit? Is there some room to epand your skills? As epressions ecome more comple, more power will e needed to manipulate them and to carry out asic skills such as adding, multiplying and factorising. Dealing with quadratic epressions is the fi rst step to higher-level skills. What do you know? 1 THInK List what you know aout quadratic epressions. Use a thinking tool such as a concept map to show your list. 2 PaIr Share what you know with a partner and then with a small group. 3 SHare As a class, create a thinking tool such as a large concept map that shows your class s knowledge of quadratic epressions.

9 7.3 Factorising epressions with three terms A monic quadratic epression is an epression in the form a c where a 1. Factorising monic quadratic trinomials The area model of inomial epansion can e used to find a pattern for factorising a general quadratic epression. For eample, ( + f)( + h) 2 + f + h + fh ( + 4)( + 3) (f + h) + fh h 2 h + f f fh To factorise a general quadratic, look for factors of c that add to c ( + f)( + h) Factors of c that add to For eample, ( + 3)( + 4) Maths Quest A

10 WOrKed example 5 Factorise the following quadratic epressions. a THInK a 1 Write the epression and: i check for a common factor. There is no common factor. ii check for a DOTS pattern. The epression is not in the form a 2 2. iii check for a perfect squares pattern. 6 is not a perfect square. This must e a general quadratic epression. 2 i The general quadratic epression has the pattern ( + f)( + h). f and h are a factor pair of 6 that add to 5. ii Calculate the sums of factor pairs of 6. The factors of 6 that add to 5 are 2 and 3, as shown in lue. 3 Sustitute the values of f and h into the epression in its factorised form. 1 Check for patterns of common factors, DOTS and perfect squares patterns. None of these apply, so the epression is a general quadratic. 2 i The general quadratic epression has the pattern ( + f)( + h), where f and h are a factor pair of 24 that add to 10. ii Calculate the sums of factor pairs of 24. The factors of 24 that add to 10 are 4 and 6, as shown in lue. 3 Sustitute the values of f and h into the epression in its factorised form. Factorising non-monic quadratic trinomials A non-monic quadratic epression is a c where a 1. When a quadratic trinomial in the form a c is written as a 2 + m + n + c, where m + n, the four terms can e factorised y grouping ( + 4) + 3( + 4) 2( + 4) + 3( + 4) ( + 4)(2 + 3) WrITe a Factors of 6 Sum of factors 1 and and ( + 2)( + 3) Factors of 24 Sum of factors 1 and and and and ( + 4)( + 6) Topic 7 Quadratic epressions 279

11 There are many cominations of numers that satisfy m + n ; however, only one particular comination can e grouped and factorised. For eample, or (2 + 7) + 4( + 3) 2( + 4) + 3( + 4) cannot e factorised further ( + 4) + (2 + 3) In eamining the general inomial epansion, a pattern emerges that can e used to help identify which comination to use for m + n. (d + e)(f + g) df 2 + dg + ef + eg df 2 + (dg + ef) + eg m + n dg + ef and m n dg ef dgef dfeg ac Therefore, m and n are factors of ac that sum to. To factorise a general quadratic where a 1, look for factors of ac that sum to. Then rewrite the quadratic trinomial with four terms that can then e grouped and factorised. WOrKed example 6 a c a 2 + m + n + c Factors of ac that sum to Factorise THInK 1 Write the epression and look for common factors and special patterns. The epression is a general quadratic with a 6, 11 and c Since a 1, rewrite a c as a 2 + m + n + c, where m and n are factors of ac (6 10) that sum to ( 11). Calculate the sums of factor pairs of 60. As shown in lue, 4 and 15 are factors of 60 that add to Rewrite the quadratic epression: a c a 2 + m + n + c with m 4 and n Factorise using the grouping method: (3 + 2) and (3 + 2) Write the answer.

Write the equation showing squares. 3 Use the pattern for DOTS to write the factors. a 2 2 (a + )(a ) Factorising epressions with four terms If there are four terms to e factorised, look for a common factor first. Then group the terms in pairs and look for a common factor in each pair. It may e that a new common factor emerges as a racket (common inomial factor). If an epression has four terms, it may require grouping to factorise it. In the process known as grouping two and two, the terms of the epression are grouped into two pairs, then a common factor is removed from each pair. When selecting terms to place as pairs, each pair after factorising should result in a common inomial factor.

30 2 Beginning the game There is to e no communication etween players at this time. Your teacher will randomly allocate a headand to each player y placing a headand on their head without the player seeing the numer on their headand. 3 Playing the game The oject of the game The oject of the game is to use the process of elimination for you to fi nd your pair. A possile train of thought is illustrated at right. Starting the game Once all headands have een allocated, stand in a circle or walk around freely. Without speaking, determine who is a match; then, y a process of elimination, determine who might e your match. Hmm now, Lizzy is 16 and Jo is 8 so they are a match. Nick is 10. I can t see a 25 maye he is my match. Making a match When you think you have found your match, approach that person and say I think I am your match. The other player should now check to see if you have a match elsewhere and can reply y saying one of two things: Yes, I think I am your match, or I know your match is still out there. If a match is agreed upon, the players should sit out for the remainder of the game. If a match is not agreed upon, players should continue looking. Ending the game The class should continue until everyone is in a pair, at which time the class can check their results. The class should now discuss the different trains of thought they used to fi nd their pair and how this relates to factorising quadratic trinomials. 25 Topic 7 Quadratic epressions 299
