    Factorise Quadratic Expressions - Worksheet

    Uploaded by

    Arun Krishnamurthy
    i) Dexter is factorising the expression x^2 + 7x + 6. The factor pairs of 6 are 1, 6 and 2, 3. He should use the factor pair 2, 3 when factorising x^2 + 7x + 6. ii) Annie writes the expression x^2 + 5x + 6 as (x + 3)(x + 2). This is correct because expanding the brackets gives x^2 + 5x + 6. iii) Amir incorrectly factorises the expression x^2 + 5x - 14 as (x + 2)(x - 7). Expanding the brackets shows this is incorrect.
