Ex 4.4, 1 (i) Fill in the blanks to complete the following identities: (i) š ^2ā11š +24=( ____ ) ( ____ ) We need to factorise š^šāššš+šš š ^2ā11š +24 = š ^2āšš¬āšš+24 = s(sā3)ā8(sā3) = (š¬āš)(š¬āš) Splitting the middle term method We need to find two numbers whose Sum = ā11 Product = 1 Ć 24 = 24 Since sum is negative but product is positive. Thus, both numbers are negative Thus, our fill in the blanks is š ^2ā11š +24=(š¬āš)(š¬āš) Ex 4.4, 1 (ii) Fill in the blanks to complete the following identities: (ii) ( ____ (š„+1)=(3š„^2ā4š„ā7) We need to factorise šš^šāššāš 3š„^2ā4š„ā7 = 3š„^2āšš+ššā7 = š„(3š„ā7)+1(3š„ā7) = (ššāš)(š+š) Splitting the middle term method We need to find two numbers whose Sum = ā4 Product = 3 Ć ā7 = ā21 Since both sum and product are negative. Thus, one number is positive, one is negative. And bigger is negative Thus, our fill in the blanks is (ššāš)(š„+1)=3š„^2ā4š„ā7 Ex 4.4, 1 (iii) Fill in the blanks to complete the following identities: (iii) 10š„^2ā11š„ā6=(2š„ā____" ) ( "____" + 2)" We need to factorise ššš^šāšššāš 10š„^2ā11š„ā6 = 10š„^2āššš+ššā6 = 5š„(2š„ā3)+2(2š„ā3) = (ššāš)(šš+š) Splitting the middle term method We need to find two numbers whose Sum = ā11 Product = 10 Ć ā6 = ā60 Since both sum and product are negative. Thus, one number is positive, one is negative. And bigger is negative Thus, our fill in the blanks is 10š„^2ā11š„ā6=(ššāš)(šš+š) Ex 4.4, 1 (iv) Fill in the blanks to complete the following identities: (iv) 6š„^2+7š„+2=(" "____" ) ( "____" )" We need to factorise šš^š+šš+š 6š„^2+7š„+2 = 6š„^2+šš+šš+2 = 2š„(3š„+2)+1(3š„+2) = (šš+š)(šš+š) Splitting the middle term method We need to find two numbers whose Sum = 7 Product = 6 Ć 2 = 12 Since sum and product both are positive, both numbers are positive Thus, our fill in the blanks is 6š„^2+7š„+2=(šš+š)(šš+š)
