Factorising — Quadratics

A quadratic expression is one of the form ax” + bx + c where a, b and c are constants (a # 0). You can factorise some quadratics.

Example 1 Factorise: 1.

aye Flore Be)

Dee

x 15

Find two numbers that add up to 6 and multiply to 8:

a)

4+2=6and4x2=8

Then x? + 6x+ 8 = (x +4)(x + 2) 2.

You can check this by expanding the brackets.

1.

You need two numbers that multiply to —-15, so one must be positive and the other must be negative.

2.

They add up to +2, so the positive one is bigger.

@+4)@+ 2) =2?+2x+4x+8 b)

5+-3=2and5

x -3=-15

Then x? + 2x — 15 =(«+5)(x - 3)

Exercise 1 1

c) x°-7x+ 10 1) x +2x-8 i) P—4t-12

15 h) x?-—2x-

g) s°+3s5—18

Example2 Factorise 2x? — 5x — 3.

3K 2k ee

2x = Sx

1. The 2x? must come from

C= | |

multiplying 2x by x, so put 2x in one bracket and x in the other.

2.

(2x+ 3)

For the other numbers in the

1) = 2x? = 2x + 3x33 = 2

+x = 3

7K

brackets, try combinations of

numbers that multiply to give —3.

(2x+ I@— 3) = 2x7 — 6x +x—3 = 2x°— 5x3

ae

so 2x* —5x—3 = 2x + Dx —3) Exercise 2 1

Factorise the following expressions. a) 2374 3x7 1 b) 3x°- 16x +5 e) 2x?- 13x+6 f) 3b°>-7b-—6

c) 5x*-17x+6 g) 5x*+12x-9

d) 2P —5t-12 h) 2x?-3x+1

i) 7a’+19a—6

k) 727+ 38z + 15

l) 3y?—26y + 16

j) 1x’? - 62x - 24

Example 3 Factorise 6x — 19x + 10 1.

The 6x2 could come from 6x x x or from 3x x 2x.

2.

The second term in the quadratic is negative (—) but the third term is positive (+). This implies that both factors are of the form (ax — b).

Py (Oe).

(be = 1

The — 61x tells you that you need

to avoid products like 6x = 10

10

iol ene

(3x — 2)(2x — 5) = 6x2 — 15x —4x + 10 = 6x2 — 19x + 10

which give too large answers.

Try (3x — 2)(2x — 5) instead. 2

OV br 0

So 6x° — 19x + 10 = 2)2x Bx = — 5)

Factorise the following expressions.

a) 6° 5x>F 1 e) 25a’ + 65a + 36

b) 6x*— 13x +6 f) 12x?-19x+5

c) 15x°-x-2 g) 12u+6u-—6

d) 10x*— 19x +6 h) 14w?+25w+9

Difference of Two Squares Some quadratic expressions have no middle term, e.g. x — 49. These quadratics have factors that are the same, except that one has a positive term and one has a negative term. For example, x? — 49 factorises to (x — 7)(x + 7).

More generally:

a*?—b?=(a+b)(a—b)

This is known as the difference of two squares.

Example 4 Factorise x* — 16

16=4 Difference of two squares says: x* — a? = (x + a)(x — a).

x —16=x°-4 Section 6 — Expressions

So,x-16=(+4)~-4)

Algebraic Fractions

Simplifving Algebraic Fractions Algebraic fractions can be simplified by factorising the numerator and/or the denominator, and then cancelling out any common factors. For algebraic fractions with quadratic expressions, factorise the quadratics first, then look for any factors that can be cancelled out.

Adding and Subtracting Algebraic Fractions Algebraic fractions should be treated in just the same way as numerical fractions. This means that to add or subtract them, they need to have a common denominator.

Example 3 Express * z : or ay 2 as a single fraction. 1.

The fractions are being added, so first find a common denominator.

2.

Here, the common denominator is 4 x 3 = 12.

Squares, Cubes and Roots

Squares and cubes are written using powers, e.g. 4 x 4=4 and4x 4x 4=4, The square of any number is positive. The cube of a positive number is always positive, but the cube of a negative number is always negative.

Every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. The symbol -/_ is used for the positive square root. Negative numbers don’t have square roots. Every number has exactly one cube root. The symbol 3/ is used for cube roots.

Example 2 a)

Find both square roots of 16. 1. 4°=16, so the positive square root is 4. 2. There’s also the negative square root.

16 =4 —/16 =-4

Indices and Index Laws

Index notation (or ‘powers’) can be used to show repeated multiplication of a number or letter. For example, 2 x 2 x 2 = 23. This is read as “2 to the power 3”. Powers have an index and a base:

Sin, Cos and Tan of Larger Angles

Sin, cos and tan are really useful for working out acute angles (angles between 0° and 90°). They can also be-used to find obtuse angles (angles between 90° and 180°) and reflex angles (angles between 180° and 360°).

Sin of Obtuse and Reflex angles The graph shows y = sin x for —180° < x S$ 360°. For each value of y (except y = 1, y=—1l and y = 0) there are two positive values of x between 0° and 360°.

Tan of Obtuse and Reflex Angles. The graph shows y = tan x for —90° < x < 360°. The values of tan x for obtuse angles are negative, but putting tan 'y into a calculator gives a negative x-value. To find the obtuse angle, add on 180°. To find the reflex angle from an acute or obtuse angle, add on 180°.

Example 3 Find the obtuse angle x for which tan x = —10.

tan '(—10) = —84.29° (to 2 d.p.) For the obtuse angle, x =—84.29° + 180° = 95.7° (to | d.p.)

Congruence and Similarity

Congruent shapes are exactly the same shape and size. The images of rotated and reflected shapes are congruent to the original shapes. Similar shapes are exactly the same shape but different sizes. Similar shapes can be in different orientations. The image of a shape after it has been enlarged is similar to the original shape.

Areas of Similar Shapes

For two similar shapes, where one has sides that are twice as long as the sides of the other, the area of the larger shape will be four times (i.e. 2? times) the area of the smaller shape. In general, for an enlargement of scale factor n, the area of the larger shape will be n? times the area of the smaller shape.

Area = np < ng

If the ratio of sides is a: b, the ratio of the areas is a”: b’.

to find the scale factor of enlargement.

10 cm + 4 cm = 2.5, so the scale factor is 2.5

Use these to find the surface area of B.

Surface area ofB = 136 x 2.5* = 136 x 6.25 = 850 cm?

Volumes of Similar Shapes

For two similar 3D shapes, when the side lengths are doubled, the volume is multiplied by a factor of 8 (= 2°). In general, if the sides increase by a scale factor of n, the volume increases by a scale factor of n’.

For two similar shapes with sides in the ratio a: b, their volumes will be in the ratio a? : b’.
