Ex 12.2, 5 Factorise the following expressions. (iii) š^2 + 6p ā 16š^2 + 6p ā 16 By middle term splitting = š^2 āšš+šš ā 16 = (š^2ā2š)+(8š ā 1"6") = p (p ā 2) + 8 (p ā 2) Taking (p ā 2) common = (p ā 2) (p + 8) Splitting the middle term We need to find two numbers whose Sum = 6 Product = ā16 So, we write 6p = ā2p + 8p
