Review Exercise 3

1. A polynomial in x can be written as:

Polynomial = quotient x divisor + remainder.

Find the polynomial when the quotient is Tx 1, the divisor is 5x and the remainder is 2.

2. Factorise each ofthe following expressions completely.

(a) 6x2 + 36ax (b) 21bc2 - 1463c

(c) 72m? + 110mn - 28n2 (d) -48p'q - 106pq 33

(e) 5hx + 6ky 15hy - 2kx (f)

3. (a) Without factorising 6x2 + 3x - 18, give two reasons why it is not equivalent to 4(2x + 3) (x + 2).
(b) Factorise 6x2 + 3x - 18 completely.
4. (a) Factorise completely 5x2 + 3x - 8.

(b) Hence factorise completely 5(4y - 1)' + 3(4y - 1) - 8.

5. Mandy says, "Instead of using the multiplication frame to factorise the expression 12x? + 16xy 35y', I can
also factorise it by grouping."
Show Mandy's working.
To factorise 12x² + 16xy - 35y² by grouping, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify two terms that have a common factor.

In this case, we can see that 12x² and 35y² are both perfect squares, and 16xy has a common factor of 4:

12x² + 16xy - 35y² can be written as (12x² - 35y²) + 16xy

Step 2: Factor the expression inside the parentheses as a difference of squares:

12x² - 35y² can be written as (2x)² - (5y)² = (2x + 5y)(2x - 5y)

Step 3: Substitute the factors back into the original expression:

(2x + 5y)(2x - 5y) + 16xy

Step 4: Rearrange the terms and simplify:

4x² - 25y² + 16xy

Therefore, the expression 12x² + 16xy - 35y² can be factorised as (2x + 5y)(2x - 5y) + 16xy or 4x² - 25y² + 16xy.

6. The dimensions of a rectangle are (7x 4y) cm by (3y . x) cm.

(i) Find an expression, in terms of x and y, for the area of the rectangle.

(ii) 6 Substitute suitable values of x and y to verify that the expression obtained in part (i) is correct.

7. that (xt4y )(Chc+Ay) mart -ay + yt, where a, h and

It is given k are constants.

(i) Expand the expression (5*+41 (lie+ky).

(ii) Write down the value of k.

(iii) Find the values of a and h.

(i) The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its length and width. Thus, the area of the rectangle with dimensions (7x + 4y) cm by (3y + x) cm is:

Area = (7x + 4y)(3y + x)

Expanding the brackets, we get:

Area = 21xy + 7x^2 + 12y^2 + 4xy

Simplifying, we get:

Area = 7x^2 + 25xy + 12y^2

Therefore, the expression for the area of the rectangle in terms of x and y is:

Area = 7x^2 + 25xy + 12y^2

(ii) We can substitute any suitable values for x and y to verify that the expression obtained in part (i) is correct. For example, let's take x = 2 and y = 3:

Area = 7x^2 + 25xy + 12y^2

Area = 7(2)^2 + 25(2)(3) + 12(3)^2
Area = 28 + 150 + 108
Area = 286

Now, let's calculate the area of the rectangle directly using its dimensions:

Area = (7x + 4y)(3y + x)

Area = (7(2) + 4(3))(3(3) + 2)
Area = (14 + 12)(9 + 2)
Area = 26 × 11
Area = 286

As we can see, the value of the area obtained using the expression in part (i) is the same as the value obtained using the dimensions of the rectangle.
Therefore, the expression for the area of the rectangle in terms of x and y is correct.

(i) To expand the expression (1/3x + 1/4y)(hx+ky)ax2 - xy + y2, we can use the distributive property of multiplication:

(1/3x + 1/4y)(hx+ky)ax2 - xy + y2
= 1/3x(hx+ky)ax2 - xy + y2 + 1/4y(hx+ky)ax2 - xy + y2

Expanding the brackets, we get:

= 1/3xhax2 + 1/3xkxy + 1/3xy2 + 1/4yhax2 + 1/4ykyx + 1/4yy2 - xy + y2

Simplifying, we get:

= (1/3xh + 1/4yh)ax2 + (1/3xk + 1/4yk - 1)x*y + (1/3 + 1/4)xy2 + (1/4y + 1)y2

Therefore, the expanded expression is:

(1/3xh + 1/4yh)ax2 + (1/3xk + 1/4yk - 1)x*y + (7/12)xy2 + (1/4y + 1)y2

(ii) From the expanded expression, we can see that the coefficient of the term "x*y" is 1/3xk + 1/4yk - 1. We are given that this
coefficient is equal to 0, so:

1/3xk + 1/4yk - 1 = 0

Multiplying both sides by 12, we get:

4xk + 3yk - 12 = 0

Solving for k, we get:

k = (12 - 4xk)/3y

We cannot determine the value of k without knowing the values of x and y.

(iii) From the expanded expression, we can see that the coefficient of the term "ax2" is 1/3xh + 1/4yh. We are not given any
information about this coefficient, so we cannot determine the values of a and h.
