Question statement

Factorise each of the following:

Give any introductory information the student needs.

			Name	Type	Generated Value

num11	list	[ 9, 7, 2, 5, 6, 8, 4, 3, 10 ]
num12	list	[ 3, 2, 4 ]
num22	list	[ 5, 4, 7, 3, 10, 6, 2, 9, 8 ]
num32	list	List of 10 items

Automatically regenerate variables?

Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `list`

[ 9, 7, 2, 5, 6, 8, 4, 3, 10 ]

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

(i) $\simplify{{num12[0]} *{ num11[0]}}xy - \simplify{{num12[0]}*{num11[1]}}xw + \simplify{{num12[0]}*{num11[2]}}xz$

Gap 0.

(ii) $\simplify{{num12[1]} *{ num11[3]}}xy^4 + \simplify{{num12[1]}*{num11[4]}}xy^2 - \simplify{{num12[1]}*{num11[5]}}x^2y$

Gap 1.

(iii) $\simplify{{num12[2]} *{ num11[6]}}x^2 - \simplify{{num12[2]}*{num11[7]}}xy + \simplify{{num12[2]}*{num11[8]}}x^3$

Gap 2.

Advice

Example 1;

$3xy^4 +9xy^2 -6x^2y$

First check if the equation can be divided across by a constant,

$3(xy^4 +3xy^2 -2x^2y)$

Next, check if the equation can be divided across by any term(s)

$3xy(y^3 +3y -2x)$

Example 2;

$9x^2 - 49$

This is the differnce of 2 squares!!

Always in the form (x - )(x + )

Get the square root of both numbers in the equation $\sqrt9 = 3$ and $\sqrt49 = 7$

(3x - 7)(3x + 7)

Example 3;

$2ab - 6ac - bd + 3cd$

Gather the terms that has common factors and take them out, similar as part 1

$2a(b - 3c) - d(b - 3c)$

Next, since there is a common factor bracket, the equation can be reduced further

$(b - 3c)(2a - d)$

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
