수업 노트

Expanding Single Brackets

Expanding means multiplying the term outside the bracket by each term inside.
For example, 3x(x + 2) = 3x × x + 3x × 2 = 3x² + 6x.
Watch out for negative signs: − × − = +, − × + = −.
Use brackets around negative terms to avoid mistakes.

Simplifying After Expanding Single Brackets

First expand each bracket separately, then collect like terms.
Example: 4(x + 7) + 5x(3 − x) = 4x + 28 + 15x − 5x² = 19x + 28 − 5x².
Be careful with subtraction: 3x(x + 2) − 7(x − 6) = 3x² + 6x − 7x + 42 = 3x² − x + 42.

Expanding Double Brackets

Multiply every term in the first bracket by every term in the second.
Use FOIL: First, Outer, Inner, Last.
Example: (x + 1)(x + 3) = x·x + x·3 + 1·x + 1·3 = x² + 4x + 3.
A grid can help organise the multiplication visually.

Grid method for double brackets

Expanding a Bracket Squared

Write (x + 3)² as (x + 3)(x + 3) and expand using FOIL.
Example: (x + 3)² = x² + 3x + 3x + 9 = x² + 6x + 9.
Common mistake: (x + y)² is not x² + y².

Factorising Out Terms

Factorising is the reverse of expanding: write as a product of factors.
Find the highest common factor (HCF) of the number parts and algebra parts.
Place the HCF outside brackets and the remaining terms inside.
Example: 12x² + 18x = 6x(2x + 3).

Factorising with Multiple Variables

Find the HCF of numbers and each variable separately.
Example: 2a³b² − 4a²b³: number HCF = 2, a HCF = a², b HCF = b² → overall HCF = 2a²b².
Result: 2a²b²(a − 2b).
Always check by expanding: factorise fully (e.g., 2x(3x + 5) not x(6x + 10)).

Exam Tips

Check factorisation by expanding the brackets.
Factorise fully means take out the greatest common factor.

## Expanding & Factorising Brackets ### Expanding Single Brackets - Multiply the term outside by **each term** inside. - Watch signs: \(- \times - = +\), \(- \times + = -\). - Example: \(4x(2x-3) = 8x^2 - 12x\). ### Expanding & Simplifying - Expand each bracket separately, then **collect like terms**. - Example: \(2(x+5) + 3x(x-8) = 2x+10+3x^2-24x = 3x^2 -22x +10\). ### Expanding Double Brackets - Use **FOIL** (First, Outer, Inner, Last) or a grid. - \((x+1)(x+3) = x^2 + 4x + 3\). - For squares: \((x+3)^2 = (x+3)(x+3) = x^2+6x+9\). - **Never** write \((x+y)^2 = x^2+y^2\). ### Factorising - Reverse of expanding: put common factor outside brackets. - Find **HCF** of numbers and variables. - Example: \(12x^2+18x = 6x(2x+3)\). - **Factorise fully** means take out the greatest common factor. - Check by expanding. ### Key Points - Always simplify by collecting like terms after expanding. - In factorising, ensure no common factor remains inside brackets.

Expand: Multiply each term inside a bracket by the term outside, removing the brackets.
Factorise: Write an expression as a product of its factors, the reverse of expanding brackets.
Highest Common Factor (HCF): The largest factor that divides all terms; used when factorising.
FOIL: A method for expanding double brackets: multiply First, Outer, Inner, Last terms.
Like terms: Terms with the same variable(s) and power(s); can be combined by adding/subtracting coefficients.
