Explanation:
Factorise completely
a 6x2 + 18x
Common factors
6x(x+3)
b 8y3 – 2y4
2y^3(4-y)
c 16xy – 8xy?
8xy(2-1)
8xy
8 Expand and simplify
a 4(x + 3) + 7(x - 1)
4x+12+7x-7
11x+5
b x(x – 6) – x(4x – 2)
x^2-6x-4x^2+2x
-3x^2-4x
-x(3x+4)
C x(3x2 + 4) + 2x(5x2 + 9)
3x^3+4x+10x^3+18x
13x^3+22x
x(13^2+22)
