Factorisation
Type 1: HCF (Highest Common Factor)
reverse of distribution
Type 2: Common Bracket
Instead of common factor, there is a common bracket
Change of sign rule:
Rea’s Notes | Mathematics Paper I | Algebra and Equations (and inequalities) 1
, Type 3: DOTS (Difference of Two Squares)
Only common fractions can be cancelled to simplify a fraction
You cannot cancel if there is more than one term in the numerator or denominator
Type 4: Trinomials/FOIL
Cross method; NB:
sign of middle term sign of last term sign of lower value factor sign of higher value factor
+ + + +
- + - -
