ACTIVITY 2
The following algebraic expression is given: xy+5y+2x+10xy + 5y + 2x + 10

Part 2.2

If we group the first two terms and the last two terms as follows: (xy+5y)+(2x+10)(xy + 5y) + (2x + 10) what do you notice about each group?

In Group 1 (xy+5y)(xy + 5y), the common factor is yy. In Group 2 (2x+10)(2x + 10), the common factor is 2.

Part 2.3y(x + 5) + 2(x + 5)

Factor these values out of each group and then write down the equivalent algebraic expression.

  1. Factor out the common factor from Group 1.

    xy+5y=y(x+5)xy + 5y = y(x + 5)
  2. Factor out the common factor from Group 2.

    2x+10=2(x+5)2x + 10 = 2(x + 5)
  3. Write the equivalent algebraic expression.

    y(x+5)+2(x+5)\boxed{y(x + 5) + 2(x + 5)}

Part 2.4(x + 5)

What is the common factor in the two terms?

The two terms are y(x+5)y(x + 5) and 2(x+5)2(x + 5). The common factor is (x+5)\boxed{(x + 5)}.

Part 2.5(x + 5)(y + 2)

Use the distributive property to factor out this common factor and then express the polynomial as a product of two binomials.

  1. Identify the common binomial factor, which is (x+5)(x + 5).

  2. Factor out (x+5)(x + 5) from the expression y(x+5)+2(x+5)y(x + 5) + 2(x + 5).

    (x+5)(y+2)\boxed{(x + 5)(y + 2)}

Part 2.6(x + 2)(3x + 4)

Joseph wants to factorize the following algebraic expression: 3x2+6x+4x+83x^2 + 6x + 4x + 8. Provide Joseph with a three-step guide on how to factorize the expression.

Here's a three-step guide for Joseph:

  1. Group the terms.* Separate the expression into two pairs of terms

    the first two terms and the last two terms.

    (3x2+6x)+(4x+8)(3x^2 + 6x) + (4x + 8)
  2. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

    For the first group, 3x2+6x3x^2 + 6x, the GCF is 3x3x. Factoring it out gives 3x(x+2)3x(x + 2).
    For the second group, 4x+84x + 8, the GCF is 4. Factoring it out gives 4(x+2)4(x + 2).
    The expression becomes:

    3x(x+2)+4(x+2)3x(x + 2) + 4(x + 2)
  3. Factor out the common binomial.* Notice that (x+2)(x + 2) is a common factor in both terms.

    Factor it out to get the final factored form.

    (x+2)(3x+4)\boxed{(x + 2)(3x + 4)}
