Factorization of Quadratic Polynomial in One Variable
2
Step 1: In the quadratic polynomial x + ax + b, find a (coefficient of x) and b (constant term).
Step 2: Find two numbers p and q such that p + q = a and pq = b.
2
2
Step 3: Split the middle term as the sum of px and qx, i.e., x + (p + q)x + b fi x + px + qx + b.
Step 4: Factorize the algebraic expression by grouping.
Example 12: Factorize the following:
2
2
2
(a) x + 5x + 6 (b) x – 3x – 10 (c) x – 21x + 110
2
Solution: (a) x + 5x + 6
To factorize the above expression you need to find p and q such that
p + q = 5, pq = 6
Factors of 6 are 2 × 3, (–2) × (–3), 6 × 1, (–6) × (–1)
Out of these factors, only 2 + 3 = 5
\ p = 2, q = 3
2
2
Hence, x + (2 + 3)x + 6 = x + 2x + 3x + 6
= x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)
= (x + 3)(x + 2) {Taking (x + 2) common}
2
(b) x – 3x – 10
To factorize this expression, you need to find p and q such that
p + q = –3, pq = –10
Factors of –10 are (–10) × 1, 10 × (–1), 2 × (–5), (–2) × 5
Out of these factors, only 2 + (–5) = –3
\ p = 2, q = –5
