Factorize Expressions B802Ba
1. **Problem:** Factorize completely the expressions given.
2. **Part a:** Factorize $6y^2 - 18xy$.
- Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms: $6y^2$ and $18xy$.
- GCF is $6y$.
- Factor out $6y$: $$6y^2 - 18xy = 6y(y - 3x)$$
3. **Part b:** Factorize $4m^2 - 1$.
- Recognize this as a difference of squares: $a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)$.
- Here, $4m^2 = (2m)^2$ and $1 = 1^2$.
- So, $$4m^2 - 1 = (2m - 1)(2m + 1)$$
4. **Part c:** Factorize $2x^2 - x - 6$.
- Use the AC method: multiply $a=2$ and $c=-6$ to get $-12$.
- Find two numbers that multiply to $-12$ and add to $-1$ (the coefficient of $x$): these are $-4$ and $3$.
- Rewrite the middle term: $$2x^2 - 4x + 3x - 6$$
- Factor by grouping: $$2x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2)$$
- Factor out the common binomial: $$(2x + 3)(x - 2)$$
5. **Write as a single fraction:** $\frac{5p + 2}{3} - \frac{3p - 1}{4}$.
- Find common denominator: $12$.
- Rewrite each fraction: $$\frac{4(5p + 2)}{12} - \frac{3(3p - 1)}{12} = \frac{20p + 8}{12} - \frac{9p - 3}{12}$$
- Combine numerators: $$\frac{20p + 8 - 9p + 3}{12} = \frac{11p + 11}{12}$$
- Factor numerator: $$\frac{11(p + 1)}{12}$$
6. **Coordinates of triangle ABC:**
- Given vertices are: $$A(2, 2), B(6, 4), C(0, 0)$$
**Final answers:**
- a. $6y(y - 3x)$
- b. $(2m - 1)(2m + 1)$
- c. $(2x + 3)(x - 2)$
- d. $\frac{11(p + 1)}{12}$
- e. $A(2, 2), B(6, 4), C(0, 0)$
