Algebra: Factorisation using Special Product A^2 - B^2 = (A + B)(A - B)

We discussed Eg. 2 & Eg. 3 during lesson today's lesson.
READ through the rest of the examples. 
We'll go through the rest (or equivalent type of questions) tomorrow.



Here's the LEVEL 2 examples (e.g. 4 & 4),
- in particular, need to pay attention to the ( ) or [ ]

Factorisation by GROUPING

Post was first put up on 17 April 2020 for self-directed learning (weekend homework)



Click HERE to watch the Playlist.

Then try to factorise the following in your NOTEBOOK.


[UPDATED After lesson on 21 April (Tuesday)]
During lesson, we went through 1(a) and 4(a). We did not get the time to go through 2(a) & 3(a).

  • Fazila asked if we could re-organise the terms; 
  • Sylvester asked whether we could extract "-1" (common factor) from the first factor instead of the second one.
Both are feasible and will end up with the same answer :)
I've provided a written explanation for the questions. 
Read through and check with me if you are still not sure.
Do check this working against your own working, too.

Attempt 2(a) and 3(a). Then check your answer against the one below. 
Read through and check with me if you are still not sure.

Challenging Question 2 (By Darrius)




Feedback: Well done 👍👍👍

[HW5] Algebraic Fractions Q1(b) Who's right?


Both Paul and Pauline re-organised so that the like terms are together. However, after this, they used different methods to do and ended up with 2 different expressions. 

Are both correct? Or do you spot any mistake in anyone's working?

[Formative Quiz] Algebra: Expressions in SINGLE FRACTION

Source: Workbook 1A Worksheet 4D

You are going to simplify an algebraic expression by expressing it as a SINGLE FRACTION in its simplest form. Recall we apply single fraction as a strategy to evaluate fractions in Unit 2: Real Numbers? 

Remember to find the common denominator of both fractions - you may use LCM when necessary. This will help to keep the terms small and manageable.
