                    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
