Factorisation using splitting middle term
Last updated at Dec. 1, 2021 by Teachoo
Ex 14.2, 5 Factorise the following expressions. (i) π^2 + 6p + 8 π^2 + 6p + 8 By middle term splitting = π^2+2π+ 4π+8 = (π^2+2π)+(4π+8) = p (p + 2) + 4 (p β 2) Taking (p + 2) common, = (p + 2) (p + 4) Splitting the middle term We need to find two numbers whose Sum = 6 Product = 8 So, we write 6p = 2p + 4p
