Page 14 Exercise 23 Answer

Given the polynomial to factorize: 63x4 + 81x3 − 72x2

Now:

We have to factorize this polynomial by factoring out the biggest terms out of the polynomial.

Given the polynomial: 63×4+21×3-72×2

factorizing the expression

63x4 + 81x3 − 72x2=9x2(7x2+9x-8)

Now see that:

⇒ \(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{63 x^4}{9 x^2}=7 x^2 \\
& \frac{81 x^3}{9 x^2}=9 x \\
& \frac{72 x^2}{9 x^2}=8
\end{aligned}\)

Here 9×2 is the biggest single term that can be taken out as a factor as it is the greatest term that is a factor of 63x4,81x3,72x2

The polynomial after factoring out the biggest term is as follows: 63x4 + 81x3 − 72x2 = 9x2(7x2+9x−8)

Page 14 Exercise 24 Answer

Given the polynomial to factorize: 60a2 + 30ab − 90ac

Now:

We have to factorize this polynomial by factoring out the biggest terms out of the polynomial.

Given the polynomial 60a2+30ab-90ac
factorizing the expression:

60a2+30ab-90ac=30a(2a+b-3c)

Now see that:

⇒ \(\begin{aligned}
\frac{60 a^2}{30 a} & =2 a \\
\frac{30 a b}{30 a} & =b \\
\frac{90 a c}{30 a} & =3 c
\end{aligned}\)

Here 30a is the biggest single term that can be taken out as a factor as it is the greatest term that is a factor of 60a2,30ab,90ac

The polynomial after factoring out the biggest term is as follows: 60a2 + 30ab − 90ac = 30a(2a+b−3c)
