    Study Notes

    Factorization of Expressions

    • The expression ax^2y + bxy^2 + cxyz can be factored as xy(ax + by + cz).

    • Factorizing by Grouping:

      • Group terms with common factors.
      • Factor out the common factors from each group.
      • Factor out the common binomial factor from the resulting two terms.
    • Examples of Factorizing by Grouping:

      • x^2 + xy + 8x + 8y = (x + y)(x + 8)
      • 15xy - 6x + 5y - 2 = (5y - 2)(3x + 1)
      • ax + bx - ay - by = (a + b)(x - y)
      • 15pq + 15 + 9q + 25p = (5p + 3)(3q + 5)
      • z - 7 + 7xy - xyz = (1 - xy)(z - 7)

    Factorization of Perfect Square Trinomials

    • Perfect Square Trinomial

      • A trinomial that results from squaring a binomial.
      • In the form a^2 + 2ab + b^2 or a^2 - 2ab + b^2
    • Factoring a Perfect Square Trinomial

      • (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
      • (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
    • Examples of Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials

      • a^2 + 8a + 16 = (a + 4)^2
      • p^2 - 10p + 25 = (p - 5)^2
      • 25m^2 + 30m + 9 = (5m + 3)^2
      • 49y^2 + 84yz + 36z^2 = (7y + 6z)^2
      • 4x^2 - 8x + 4 = (2x - 2)^2
      • 121b^2 - 88bc + 16c^2 = (11b - 4c)^2
      • (l + m)^2 - 4lm = (l - m)^2
      • a^4 + 2a^2b^2 + b^4 = (a^2 + b^2)^2

    Division of Algebraic Expressions

    • Dividing expressions with factored terms

      • Factorize both the numerator and denominator.
      • Cancel out common factors.
    • Examples of Dividing Algebraic Expressions

      • 12xy(9x^2 - 16y^2) ÷ 4xy(3x + 4y) = 3(3x - 4y)
      • 39y^3(50y^2 - 98) ÷ 26y^2(5y + 7) = 3y(5y - 7)
