Question :-
Factorise ;
x² - 23x + 132
Answer :-
Given :-
Quadratic polynomial : x² - 23x + 132
we need to factorise the above polynomial
So,
The method which we need to use is Splitting the middle term
Because , the constant term is not a perfect square .
If the constant term is a perfect square , then we can use identities to solve it !
Here,
This the procedure on how to factorise the above expression .
Here,
We need to split the middle term in such a way that the sum of the them should be equal to the middle term and their product should be equal to the constant term
So,
23 can be split into - 12 & - 11
Because, - 12x - 11x = - 23x & - 12 x - 11 = 132
( here we need to attach the variable depending upon the variable mentioned in the question )
Hence,
Therefore,
The given quadratic expression can be factorised into ( x - 12 ) & ( x - 11 )
Actually these are the factors of the given quadratic polynomial .
Verification :-
Now, let's check whether our factorisation is correct or wrong .
For that ; just multiply the both factors and the result should be the given above quadratic polynomial
So,
( x - 12 ) x ( x - 11 )
Using the identity ;
( x + a ) ( x + b ) = x² + x ( a + b ) + ab
So,
( x )² + x ( - 12 - 11 ) + (- 12)(- 11 )
x² + x ( - 23 ) + 132
x² - 23x + 132
