Products and expansions of polynomials Workout 37 slides
Algebraic products Library 15 questions
Once you have registered, you can work through the slides one by one. The workout comprises a series of sides that guide you systematically through the topic concept by concept, skill by skill. The slides may be used with or without the support of a tutor. The methodology is based on problem-solving that advances in logical succession by concept and difficulty. The student is presented with a problem or series of questions, and the next slide presents the fully-worked solution. To use the material you must sign-in or create an account. blacksacademy.net comprises a complete course in mathematics with resources that are comprehensive.

Solution We saw from the previous question that Comparing the coefficients of the constant term and the quadratic terms we are looking for three integers such that The prime factorization of 30 is . The possibilities are Of these we have , so we have , and . Check SLIDE 25 Factorising simple cubics where P, Q and R are integers. Factorise given than the factors have integer coefficients. Method Let the integer coefficients be a, b and c. Equating coefficients The three factors of times the constant term must sum to the coefficient of the quadratic term. You are looking for three factors of the constant term that add up to , where P is the coefficient of the quadratic term. SLIDE 26 Given that the factors of have integer coefficients, factorise . SLIDE 27 Given that the factors of have integer coefficients, factorise . Solution As the constant term is 10, we are looking for factors of . The factors of are . As is a negative integer, one or three of the factors must be negative. As the coefficient of the is 2, we are looking for a sum of these integers that equates to . The possibilities are , factors are Check SLIDE 28 Given that the factors of have integer coefficients, factorise . SLIDE 29 . Given that the factors of have integer coefficients, factorise .
