a²+4a+3
factorise the algebaric expression
Answers
=> a²+4a+3
=> a²+3a+a+3{using splitting middle term}
=> a(a+3)+1(a+3)
=> (a+1)(a+3)
plz mark as brainliest and follow me and yaaa don't forget to thnk....
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring a2-4a+3
The first term is, a2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -4a its coefficient is -4 .
The last term, "the constant", is +3
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 3 = 3
Step-2 : Find two factors of 3 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -4 .
-3 + -1 = -4 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and -1
a2 - 3a - 1a - 3
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
a • (a-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (a-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(a-1) • (a-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step
1
:
(a - 1) • (a - 3) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product
2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.2 Solve : a-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
a = 1
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.3 Solve : a-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
a = 3
