10.3 Example
x 2 + 8x + 15
To factorise this, we need two numbers that multiply to give 15 and add to give 8.
Thus;
x2 + 8x + 15
= ( x + 3) ( x + 5)
10.4 Exercise
Factorise;
(i) x 2 + 9x + 8 ( ii ) x 2 + 6x + 9
Multiply to give 8, add to give 9 Multiply to give 9, add to give 6
( iii ) x 2 + 7x + 12 ( iv ) x 2 + 6x + 5

( vii ) x 2 + 8x + 12 ( viii ) x 2 + 8x + 15
( ix ) x 2 + 8x + 16 (x) x 2 + 5x + 4
10.5 Example
At first glance this next question looks the same as the questions already considered.
x 2 8x + 15
And, indeed, to factorise this, we again need two numbers that multiply to give 15
and add to give 8. However, the minus sign in the question results in both answer
brackets containing a minus.
Thus;
x2 8x + 15
= x 3) (x 5)
(
To see that this is correct, check that expanding the brackets of the answer gets
back to the question.

Thus;
x2 + 7x 18
= ( x 2) ( x + 9)
The bigger number gets the plus.
