Factorisation
1 Factorise by using HCF:
1.1 7𝑥 + 21
1.2 −4𝑥 2 + 8𝑥
1.3 36𝑚6 𝑛3 − 15𝑚𝑛6
1.4 (𝑎 − 𝑏)2 + 3(𝑎 − 𝑏)
2 Factorise by using DoTS:
2.1 𝑥 2 − 81
2.2 𝑥 4 − 16
2.3 𝑎2 𝑏 2 − 4𝑐 6
3 Factorise by using Trinomials:
3.1 𝑑 2 + 14𝑑 + 40
3.2 𝑥 2 − 20𝑥 + 64
3.3 27𝑎 + 𝑎2 − 90
3.4 𝑦(𝑦 − 9) − 52
4 Factorise by using Grouping:
4.1 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 3𝑎 + 3𝑏
4.2 4𝑎𝑦 2 − 8𝑎 − 12𝑏𝑦 2 + 24𝑏
4.3 𝑎4 + 3𝑎2 𝑏 2 − 3𝑎2 𝑏 − 9𝑏 3
5 Factorise completely:
5.1 4𝑥 8 − 4
5.2 𝑥 2 (𝑎 − 1) + 4(1 − 𝑎)
5.3 2𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 30
5.4 −3𝑥 3 + 24𝑥 2 − 45𝑥
5.5 2𝑥(𝑎 + 𝑏) − 6(𝑏 + 𝑎)
