Study Notes
Factorisation and Algebraic Identities
- Factorisation example: ( 8x^3 + y^2 + 27z^2 - 18xyz ) can be factored as ( (2x+y+3z)(4x^2 + y^2 + 9z^2 - 2xy - 3yz - 6xz) ).
Products Using Identities
- Use algebraic identities to find products:
- ( (x+4)(x+10) = x^2 + 14x + 40 )
- ( (x+8)(x-10) = x^2 - 2x - 80 )
- ( (3x+4)(3x-4) = 9x^2 - 16 )
- ( (x+\frac{4}{3})(x-\frac{4}{3}) = x^2 - \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 )
- ( (3-2x)(3+2x) = 9 - 4x^2 )
Evaluating Products Without Direct Multiplication
- ( 103 \times 107 = 11051 ) (using ( (100 + 3)(100 + 7) = 100^2 + 10 + 21 ))
- ( 95 \times 96 = 9120 ) (using ( (100 - 5)(100 - 4) = 10000 - 500 - 400 ))
- ( 104 \times 96 = 9984 ) (using ( (100 + 4)(100 - 4) = 10000 - 16 ))
Factorisation Examples
- ( 9x^2 + 6xy + y^2 = \left(3x+y\right)^2 )
- ( 4y^2 - 4y + 1 = (2y-1)^2 )
- ( 100 - x^2 = (10-x)(10+x) )
Expanding Using Identities
- Expand ( (1 - 2x + 3x^2)^2 ) and ( (x^3 + 2x + 1)^2 ) using suitable binomial expansion identities.
Advanced Factorisation
- Factor ( 4x^4 + 5x^2 + 1 ), ( 4x^4 + 8x^3 + 24x^2 + 32x + 16 ), ( 4x^4 - 8x^3 - 2x^2 + 2x - 1 ) through trial or polynomial long division.
Evaluation of Cubes
- Expand ( (2x + 1)^3 ) to ( 8x^3 + 12x^2 + 6x + 1 ).
Factorisation of Higher Orders
- Factor ( 8x^3 + b^3 + 12x^2b + 6ab^2 ) and ( 27y^3 + 125 ) to reveal their component structures.
Verification of Identities
- Verify ( (x + y)^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2) ) and similarly for ( (x - y)^3 ).
Factorisation of Polynomials
- Apply the Factor Theorem to determine factors of polynomials like ( x^3 + 6x^2 + 11x + 6 ).
Length of Pendulum
- The formula for the length of a pendulum ( l ) is given by ( l = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2} ).
Practical Example
- For a pendulum with a period of 2 seconds, with gravitational acceleration ( g = 9.8 ), the length is approximately ( 0.994 ) meters.
Algebraic Identities Summary
- Key identities involving cubes:
- ( x^3 + y^3 + z^3 - 3xyz = (x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2 - xy - xz - yz) )
Employing Factor Theorem
- Determine whether a linear polynomial is a factor of a given cubic polynomial by substituting its roots and checking for zero remainders.
Conclusion
- A thorough understanding of algebraic identities, factorisation techniques, and methods for evaluating and reformatting polynomial expressions forms the cornerstone of mastery in polynomial algebra.
