Advanced Factorization Techniques
This page delves deeper into factorization techniques, building upon the distributivity concepts introduced earlier. It provides more complex examples and exercises to challenge students' understanding.
Vocabulary: Factorization is the process of breaking down an algebraic expression into a product of simpler expressions.
The page starts by presenting factorization rules:
- ka + kb = k(a + b)
- ka - kb = k(a - b)
Example: 2x - 14 can be factored as 2(x - 7)
Several more examples are provided to illustrate different factorization scenarios:
- 3y - 5y = y(3 - 5) = -2y
- 75ab - 25a + 15ac = 5a(15b - 5 + 3c)
- 3x + 6xy = 3x(1 + 2y)
The page then moves on to more complex exercises, demonstrating how to factor and simplify intricate expressions:
Example: A = (x - 3)(2x + 5) - (x - 3)(x - 7)
Solution: A = (x - 3)[(2x + 5) - (x - 7)] = (x - 3)(3x - 2)
Another complex example is provided:
B = (2x + 3)(x + 8) - (3x - 2)(2x + 3)
The solution process is shown step-by-step, culminating in the final factored form:
B = 2(2x + 3)(x + 5)
