Q3 of 105 Page 274

Factories the expressions-

6ab – b2 + 12ac – 2bc

In the given expression


Check weather there is any common factors for all terms;


None;


Regrouping the 1st 2 terms we have,


6ab – b2 = b[6a - b] -------eq 1


Regrouping the last 2 terms we have,


12ac – 2bc = 2c[6a - b] -------eq 2


Combining eq 1 and 2


6ab – b2 + 12ac – 2bc = b[6a - b] + 2c[6a - b]


= [6a - b][b + 2c]


Hence the factors of[6ab – b2 + 12ac – 2bc] are [6a - b] and[b + 2c]
