Factorization by Middle Term Splitting
Factorization by Middle Term Splitting
Factorization of quadratic polynomials in one Variables:
Let us now consider the polynomial .
Comparing this with polynomial , we get a + b = -7 and ab = 12.
Now, we have to find factors of 12 whose sum is -7.
Since a + b is negative ab is positive. Therefore, a and b both must negative
Clearly, such factors are -3 and -4.
Hence, the factors of are (y - 3) and ( y - 4 ).
Algorithm:
Step I Obtain the quadratic polynomial .
Step II Obtain p = coefficient of x and, q = constant term.
Step III Find two numbers a and b such that a + b = p and ab = q.
Step IV Split up the middle term as the sum of two terms ax and bx.
Step V Factorize the expression obtained in step IV by grouping the terms.
Illustration: Factorize the following expression:
Solution: In order to factorize , we find two numbers p and q such that
p + q + 6 and pq = 8
Clearly, 2 + 4 = 6 and 2 4 = 8.
We now split the middle term 6x in the given quadratic as 2x + 4x.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
