    Exercise 2.

    4: Factorize the Given Polynomials

    Question 1: Factorize

    (a) x2 + 5x + 6
    Step 1: Multiply 6 (constant term) with 1 (coefficient of x2 ):

    6×1=6

    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is 6 and sum is 5:


    Numbers: 2, 3

    Step 3: Split 5x as 2x + 3x:

    x2 + 2x + 3x + 6

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (x2 + 2x) + (3x + 6)

    x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)

    (x + 2)(x + 3)

    Answer: (x + 2)(x + 3)

    (b) x2 + 4x + 4
    Step 1: Multiply 4 (constant term) with 1 (coefficient of x2 ):

    4×1=4

    1/5
    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is 4 and sum is 4:
    Numbers: 2, 2

    Step 3: Split 4x as 2x + 2x:

    x2 + 2x + 2x + 4

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (x2 + 2x) + (2x + 4)

    x(x + 2) + 2(x + 2)

    (x + 2)(x + 2) = (x + 2)2

    Answer: (x + 2)2

    (c) x2 + 2x − 8
    Step 1: Multiply −8 (constant term) with 1 (coefficient of x2 ):

    −8 × 1 = −8

    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is −8 and sum is 2:


    Numbers: 4, −2

    Step 3: Split 2x as 4x − 2x:

    x2 + 4x − 2x − 8

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (x2 + 4x) − (2x + 8)

    x(x + 4) − 2(x + 4)

    (x + 4)(x − 2)

    Answer: (x + 4)(x − 2)

    (d) x2 + 7x + 10

    2/5
    Step 1: Multiply 10 (constant term) with 1 (coefficient of x2 ):

    10 × 1 = 10

    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is 10 and sum is 7:


    Numbers: 5, 2

    Step 3: Split 7x as 5x + 2x:

    x2 + 5x + 2x + 10

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (x2 + 5x) + (2x + 10)

    x(x + 5) + 2(x + 5)

    (x + 5)(x + 2)

    Answer: (x + 5)(x + 2)

    (e) x2 −x−6
    Step 1: Multiply −6 (constant term) with 1 (coefficient of x2 ):

    −6 × 1 = −6

    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is −6 and sum is −1:


    Numbers: −3, 2

    Step 3: Split −x as −3x + 2x:

    x2 − 3x + 2x − 6

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (x2 − 3x) + (2x − 6)

    x(x − 3) + 2(x − 3)

    (x − 3)(x + 2)

    Answer: (x − 3)(x + 2)

    3/5
    (f) x2 −4
    This is a difference of squares:

    x2 − 4 = (x)2 − (2)2

    x2 − 4 = (x − 2)(x + 2)

    Answer: (x − 2)(x + 2)

    (g) x2 − 3x − 10
    Step 1: Multiply −10 (constant term) with 1 (coefficient of x2 ):

    −10 × 1 = −10

    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is −10 and sum is −3:
    Numbers: −5, 2

    Step 3: Split −3x as −5x + 2x:

    x2 − 5x + 2x − 10

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (x2 − 5x) + (2x − 10)

    x(x − 5) + 2(x − 5)

    (x − 5)(x + 2)

    Answer: (x − 5)(x + 2)

    (h) 2x2 +x−6


    Step 1: Multiply −6 (constant term) with 2 (coefficient of x2 ):

    −6 × 2 = −12

    Step 2: Find two numbers whose product is −12 and sum is 1:


    Numbers: 4, −3

    4/5
    Step 3: Split x as 4x − 3x:

    2x2 + 4x − 3x − 6

    Step 4: Group and factorize:

    (2x2 + 4x) − (3x + 6)

    2x(x + 2) − 3(x + 2)

    (x + 2)(2x − 3)

    Answer: (x + 2)(2x − 3)
