1. Using an appropriate strategy factor the following: a) 213:2 + 283: b) m3 \"53:2 +3m 15 o) 4:122 + 20:1: - 3mg 15y d) 390 12 + 7am 28a 2. Using any method of choice, factor the following trinomials: a) y2 + 7y 60 b) m2 4mg _ 213,12 0) 8:33 40:162 - 483: d) 123:2 5m 2 3. Factor 8 1255133313 completely. 4. Factor 3.1010 + 3x (recall the steps to follow for the general strategy of factoring.) 5. Explain how you obtain the solution to the compound inequality (using a num- berline)m13m+4m+1 1132: 4| 5 5 and to I31: All 2 5. Plot both solutions on a 6. What is the solution to number line and comment on any interesting observations you can make. 7. What is the difference in solving the equation 2:13 1 2 3 and the equation I21: - 1| = 3? Also solve each of them and compare the solutions. 8. Solve for all possible values of a: : I21: - 31 = l3iL' + 41. be factored using any of the identities we have ck to factorize it. The trick is to add and makes the expression 3:4 + 41:2 + 4 451:2. and, (b) complete 9. BONUS While 174 + 4 cannot learnt so far, we can apply a neat tri subtract the same quantity, 451:2, which (a) Explain why this is the same expression is the original one, the factorization and explain the steps
