Ftorising FACTORISING Ftorising is the opposite of expning. It is the proess of putting expressions into rkets rther thn expning them out. In this setion you will lern how ifferent kins of expressions re ftorise in their own wy. Answer these questions, efore working through the hpter. I use to think: Wht ftors 0 n 1 hve in ommon? Wht ftors o 0 n 1 hve in ommon? ( x- )( x+ ) x - 4. Complete the following: x - 16 ( x-?)( x +?) How mny ftors is qurti trinomil ftorise into? Answer these questions, fter working through the hpter. But now I think: Wht ftors 0 n 1 hve in ommon? Wht ftors o 0 n 1 hve in ommon? ( x- )( x+ ) x - 4. Complete the following: x - 16 ( x-?)( x +?) How mny ftors is qurti polynomil ftorise into?

Ftorising Bsis Common Ftors Whole numers tht multiply together to give prtiulr numer re lle the ftors of tht numer. For exmple, the numer 6 n e expresse s the prout of two whole numers in two wys: 6 6# 1 n 6 # 3. So the ftors of 6 re: 1,, 3, 6. A ommon ftor of two numers is numer tht is ftor of oth numers. Here is n exmple of fining the highest ommon ftor. Wht is the highest ommon ftor (HCF) of 1 n 18? To get the highest ommon ftor, first get the ftors of eh numer. Then pik the highest one. 1 1 # 1 1 6# 18 18 # 1 18 9# 1 4# 3 18 6# 3 Ftors of 1 re 1,, 3, 4, 6, 1. Ftors of 18 re 1,, 3, 4, 9, 18. ` The highest ommon ftor (HCF) of 1 n 8 is 6. Ftors our in lger too. In lger the expression mens #. So n re ftors of. Here re some exmples of ommon ftors in lger. Wht is the ommon ftor of eh of these: n. The ommon ftor is, sine it is ftor of oth terms. xy n xz. The ommon ftor is x. A ommon ftor of n is. But lso ours in oth terms, so is lso ommon ftor. The highest ommon ftor of n is. Here is nother exmple. Wht is the highest ommon ftor of xy 4 n xz? 4 xy x # x y # xz x z 4 Rememer tht x x # x. x is the highest power of x whih ours in oth 4 xy n xz. 4 ` The highest ommon ftor of xy n xz is x. In term suh s 10xy, the numer 10 is lle the oeffiient. The oeffiient is the numer in front. Here is n exmple. Wht is the highest ommon ftor of 0xyz 4 n 1x 3 z? The highest ommon ftor of the oeffiients, 0 n 1, is 4. 4 3 The highest ommon ftor of xyzn xzis xz 3. Therefore putting these together, the HCF is 4xz 3. x 3 is the highest power of x whih ours in oth terms. z is ommon to oth. 100% Ftorising Mthletis 100% 3P Lerning

Ftorising Bsis Ftorising Ftorising is the opposite of expning. The gol of expning is to remove rkets from expressions, like this exmple: ( + ) + The gol of ftorising is to put expressions into rkets, like this exmple: + ( + ) Using Common Ftors Common ftors re si to e ftorise out of expressions. In the expression +, the vrile is ommon in oth terms. So is ommon ftor of oth terms. This mens n e ftorise out of the expression s ove. Here re some exmples: Ftorise these expressions: 5xy + 5y 5yx ( + 1) xy-4xy xy( x-y) 5 y is ommon in oth terms xy is ommon in oth terms In ove, oth 5 n y re ommon ftors on their own, ut 5 y is the highest ommon ftor (HCF). In, xy is the highest ommon ftor. To fin the HCF, fin the highest ommon numeril ftor of the oeffiients n then the lowest ommon power of eh vrile. Ftorise these expressions: 6+ 9 5 3 3 5 3 3 3( + 3 ) 1xy-4xy 5 3 3 3 4xy( 3y -x) 3 3 3 is the HCF 4x y 3 is the HCF 3 is the HCF of the oeffiients 3 is the lowest power of 3 is the lowest power of 4 is the HCF of the oeffiients x is the lowest power of x y 3 is the lowest power of y Sometimes there will e more thn two terms. Then the HCF must e foun for ll the terms! Ftorise this expression: 8-4+ 1 3 4 3 3 5 3 4( - + 3 ) 4 is the HCF of the oeffiients is the lowest power of 3 is the lowest power of 100% Ftorising Mthletis 100% 3P Lerning 3

In generl, qurti trinomil looks like this: x x + + Leing Coeffiient (in front of x ) Coeffiient of x onstnt (no x ) Rememer, ftorising is the opposite of expning.
