Key Concepts – Factorization
Difference of Squares
\(a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)\)
Used to factorize expressions where one perfect square is subtracted from another.
Perfect Square Trinomial
\(a^2 \pm 2ab + b^2 = (a \pm b)^2\)
Recognizing these allows you to instantly write the squared binomial.
Sum of Cubes
\(a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)\)
The formula to break down expressions involving perfect cubes added together.
Difference of Cubes
\(a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)\)
The formula for factoring expressions involving perfect cubes subtracted.
LCM & HCF Relationship
\(LCM \times HCF = p(x) \times q(x)\)
The product of the highest common factor and least common multiple equals the product of the two polynomials.
Square Root of Polynomial
\(\sqrt{(a \pm b)^2} = \pm(a \pm b)\)
The square root of a perfect square trinomial yields the binomial.
Chapter 4 Frequently Asked Questions
What is factorization?
Factorization is the process of breaking down an algebraic expression into a product of simpler expressions (factors) that, when multiplied together, give the original expression.
What is the relationship between HCF and LCM?
For any two polynomials \(p(x)\) and \(q(x)\), the product of their HCF and LCM is equal to the product of the polynomials themselves: \(LCM \times HCF = p(x) \times q(x)\).
How do you factorize a difference of squares?
Use the identity \(a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)\). For example, \(x^2 - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3)\).
What are the two methods for finding the square root of an algebraic expression?
The two methods are the factorization method (writing the expression as a perfect square) and the long division method (similar to finding the square root of numbers).
What is the Remainder Theorem?
The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial \(f(x)\) is divided by \((x - a)\), the remainder is \(f(a)\).
