Expanding Brackets

Expansion is the product of multiplying an


algebraic expression by a term or another
algebraic expression.
Example 1:
Find the product of the following.

a) 3x ( 3x 4y)
= 9x2 - 12xy

6.2 Factorisation of Algebraic Expressions


Factors of a term is the number or terms that can
divide a term exactly.
To find the factors of a term,
As an example: 3pq
state the term as a product of
two different terms first.

3pq = 1 x 3pq
= 3 x pq

Thus, the
factors of 3pq =
1, 3, p, q, 3p,
3q, pq, and 3pq

= p x 3q
= q x 3p

6.3 Addition And Subtraction Of Algebraic Fractions


a) Adding or subtracting two algebraic fractions with
similar denominators.
Solution:
Example 3:

3x - 5 - 9x 7
x+2
x+2

= 3x - 5 - (9x - 7)
x+2
= 3x - 9x - 5 + 7
x+2
= - 6x + 2
