Common questions

The factorised form of x^2 + 7x + 12 is (x + 3)(x + 4), representing the possible dimensions of the box for the given expression as a product .

The expression x^2 + 5x + 6 is not in factorised form because it is a polynomial in expanded form. Verifying by factorisation results in (x + 2)(x + 3), where the polynomial is expressed as a product of binomials .

The identity used is the difference of squares, a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b). Applying this to 49a^2 - 36b^2 gives (7a - 6b)(7a + 6b).

The expression a^2 + 2ab + b^2 can be factorised as (a + b)^2, using the perfect square trinomial identity .

The expression x^2 + 6x + 9 can be factorised as (x + 3)^2, indicating that it represents a square plot with each side measuring x + 3 units .

To factorise x^3 + 3x^2 - x - 3, perform factor by grouping. Group terms to get (x^3 + 3x^2) - (x + 3) and factor each group: x^2(x + 3) - 1(x + 3), resulting in (x^2 - 1)(x + 3). Further factor as (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3).

The correct factorisation of the expression x^2 - 9 is (x - 3)(x + 3), based on the difference of squares identity .

The expression 4x^2 - 25 uses the difference of squares identity x^2 - b^2 = (x - b)(x + b). The factorised form is (2x - 5)(2x + 5).

The factorisation of 3x^2 - 27 is achieved by taking out the greatest common factor, which is 3, resulting in 3(x^2 - 9). Further apply the difference of squares to x^2 - 9, giving 3(x - 3)(x + 3).

The factorisation of x^2 + 5x + 6 is (x + 2)(x + 3) by finding two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to 5 .
