Factorizing quadratic expressions
No constant term
Quadratic expressions of the form ax2 + bx can always be factorized by taking out the common factor x. For example:

Quadratic expressions
A quadratic expression is an expression in which the highest power of the variable is 2. For example:
x2 – 2
w2 + 3w + 1
t2 4 – 5g2
2
The general form of a quadratic expression in x is:
ax2 + bx + c
(where a ≠ 0)
x is a variable. a is the coefficient of x2. b is the coefficient of x.
(x + d)(x + e) = x2 + dx + ex + de = x2 + (d + e)x + de

Factorizing quadratic expressions
The general form Quadratic expressions of the general form ax2 + bx + c can be factorized if they can be written using brackets as
the identity
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
to factorize it. For example:
9x2 – 49 = (3x + 7)(3x – 7)

x2 + 3x + 2
Factorizing When we expand an expression we multiply out the brackets. When we factorize an expression we write it with brackets.

(dx + e)(fx + g) where d, e, f and g are integers. If we expand (dx + e)(fx + g), we have
(dx + e)(fx + g)= dfx2 + dgx + efx + eg = dfx2 + (dg + ef)x + eg
Quadratic expressions with a = 1 Quadratic expressions of the form x2 + bx + c can be factorized if they can be written using brackets as
(x + d)(x + e) where d and e are integers. If we expand (x + d)(x + e), we have
