MATHEMATICS From 3 Factorization of
Introduction • Objectives:Encouraged to practice thinking skills such as ‘trial and error’ or ‘use equations’. • Target:After the lesson, students should be able to do simple factorization. • Duration:30 mins.
Introduction • Target group:Form 3 students. • Assumption:Students are expected to know how to solve simple linear equations.
What shall we get when we expand ?
What shall we get when we expand ? + qx
What shall we get when we expand ? + px + qx
What shall we get when we expand ? + px + pq + qx
What shall we get when we expand ? Simplify by taking the x out. + px + pq + qx
What shall we get when we expand ? Answer : + pq + (p + q) x
Consider this example Expand : (x + 2)( x + 3)
Consider this example Expand : (x + 2)( x + 3) + 3x
Consider this example Expand : (x + 2)( x + 3) + 3x + 2x
Consider this example Expand : (x + 2)( x + 3) + 2x3 + 3x + 2x
Consider this example Expand : (x + 2)( x + 3) Again, simplify by taking the x out. + 2x3 + 3x + 2x
Consider this example Expand : (x + 2)( x + 3) Therefore the answer is + (2 + 3) x + 2x3
Compare with the previous example (x + 2)( x + 3) + (2 + 3) x + 2x3 = + (p + q) x + pq =
Now, what are the answers for the following expression ? (x+4)(x+7) = x2+ ( ? )x + ( ? ) The answer is EASY!! (x+4)(x+7) = x2+ ( )x + ( ) 11 28 4x7 4+7
To do it the other way round is harder. Can you do this? = (x + ? ) (x + ? ) The answer is = (x + ) (x + ) 2 5 2 x 5 2 + 5
Steps to factorize : = (x + ? ) (x + ? ) Fist draw two brackets
Steps to factorize : = (x + ? ) (x + ? ) Then consider the factors of 10 That is :1 x 10 or 2 x 5
Steps to factorize : = (x + ? ) (x + ? ) Try 1 and 10 = (x + ) (x + ) 1 10 WRONG 1+10 is not equal to 7 therefore this is...
Steps to factorize : = (x + ? ) (x + ? ) Try 2 and 5 = (x + ) (x + ) 2 5 2+5 is equal to 7 therefore this is... CORRECT
