Question
Factorise the following:
6x2 + 16xy + 8y2
Advertisements
Solution
Product = 6 × 8 = 48, sum = 16
Split the middle term as 4xy and 12xy
6x2 + 16xy + 8y2 = 6x2 + 12xy + 4xy + 8y2
= 6x(x + 2y) + 4y(x + 2y)
= (x + 2y)(6x + 4y)
= 2(x + 2y)(3x + 2y)

Verify whether the indicated numbers is zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them in the following case:
\[p(x) = x^3 - 6 x^2 + 11x - 6, x = 1, 2, 3\]
f(x) = x3 − 6x2 + 2x − 4, g(x) = 1 − 2x
f(x) = x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6, g(x) = x2 − 3x + 2
