The value of \[x\left( {x + 1} \right)\left( {x + 2} \right)\left( {x + 3} \right) \div x\left( {x + 1} \right)\]is \[\left( {x + 2} \right)\left( {x + 3} \right)\].

5. Factorise the expressions and divide them as directed.

i. Factorise the expression and divide$\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right) \div \left( {y + 5} \right)$.

Ans:  Factorise $\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right)$ by splitting the middle term.

${y^2} + 7y + 10 = {y^2} + 2y + 5y + 10$

${y^2} + 7y + 10 = y\left( {y + 2} \right) + 5\left( {y + 2} \right)$

${y^2} + 7y + 10 = \left( {y + 2} \right)\left( {y + 5} \right)$

Substitute $\left( {y + 2} \right)\left( {y + 5} \right)$ for $\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right)$ in $\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right) \div \left( {y + 5} \right)$ and simplify.

$\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right) \div \left( {y + 5} \right) = \dfrac{{\left( {y + 2} \right)\left( {y + 5} \right)}}{{\left( {y + 5} \right)}}$

$\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right) \div \left( {y + 5} \right) = y + 2$

The value of $\left( {{y^2} + 7y + 10} \right) \div \left( {y + 5} \right)$is $y + 2$.

ii. Factorise the expression and divide $\left( {{m^2} - 14m - 32} \right) \div \left( {m + 2} \right)$.

Ans:  Factorise ${m^2} - 14m - 32$ by splitting the middle term.

${m^2} - 14m - 32 = {m^2} + 2m - 16m - 32$

${m^2} - 14m - 32 = m\left( {m + 2} \right) - 16\left( {m + 2} \right)$

${m^2} - 14m - 32 = \left( {m + 2} \right)\left( {m - 16} \right)$

Substitute $\left( {m + 2} \right)\left( {m - 16} \right)$ for ${m^2} - 14m - 32$ in $\left( {{m^2} - 14m - 32} \right) \div \left( {m + 2} \right)$ and simplify.

$\left( {{m^2} - 14m - 32} \right) \div \left( {m + 2} \right) = \dfrac{{\left( {m + 2} \right)\left( {m - 16} \right)}}{{\left( {m + 2} \right)}}$

$\left( {{m^2} - 14m - 32} \right) \div \left( {m + 2} \right) = m - 16$

The value of $\left( {{m^2} - 14m - 32} \right) \div \left( {m + 2} \right)$ is $m - 16$.

iii. Factorise the expression and divide $\left( {5{p^2} - 25p + 20} \right) \div \left( {p - 1} \right)$.

Ans: The expression $5{p^2} - 25p + 20$ can be written as $5\left( {{p^2} - 5p + 4} \right)$.

Factorise $5\left( {{p^2} - 5p + 4} \right)$ by splitting the middle term.

$5\left( {{p^2} - 5p + 4} \right) = 5\left( {{p^2} - 1p - 4p + 4} \right)$

$5\left( {{p^2} - 5p + 4} \right) = 5\left( {p\left( {p - 1} \right) - 4\left( {p - 1} \right)} \right)$

$5\left( {{p^2} - 5p + 4} \right) = 5\left( {p - 1} \right)\left( {p - 4} \right)$

Substitute $5\left( {p - 1} \right)\left( {p - 4} \right)$ for $5{p^2} - 25p + 20$ in $\left( {5{p^2} - 25p + 20} \right) \div \left( {p - 1} \right)$ and simplify.

\[\left( {5{p^2} - 25p + 20} \right) \div \left( {p - 1} \right) = \dfrac{{5\left( {p - 1} \right)\left( {p - 4} \right)}}{{\left( {p - 1} \right)}}\]

$\left( {5{p^2} - 25p + 20} \right) \div \left( {p - 1} \right) = 5\left( {p - 4} \right)$

The value of $\left( {5{p^2} - 25p + 20} \right) \div \left( {p - 1} \right)$ is $5\left( {p - 4} \right)$.

iv. Factorise the expression and divide $4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) \div 2y\left( {z + 8} \right)$.

Ans:  Factorise $4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right)$ by splitting the middle term.

$4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) = 4yz\left( {{z^2} - 2z + 8z - 16} \right)$

$4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) = 4yz\left( {z\left( {z - 2} \right) + 8\left( {z - 2} \right)} \right)$

$4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) = 4yz\left( {z - 2} \right)\left( {z + 8} \right)$

Substitute $4yz\left( {z - 2} \right)\left( {z + 8} \right)$ for $4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right)$ in $4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) \div 2y\left( {z + 8} \right)$ and simplify.

$4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) \div 2y\left( {z + 8} \right) = \dfrac{{4yz\left( {z - 2} \right)\left( {z + 8} \right)}}{{2y\left( {z + 8} \right)}}$

$4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) \div 2y\left( {z + 8} \right) = 2z\left( {z - 2} \right)$

The value of $4yz\left( {{z^2} + 6z - 16} \right) \div 2y\left( {z + 8} \right)$ is $2z\left( {z - 2} \right)$.

v. Factorise the expression and divide $5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right) \div 2p\left( {p + q} \right)$.

Ans: Factorise $5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right)$ by using the formula ${a^2} - {b^2} = \left( {a - b} \right)\left( {a + b} \right)$.

$5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right) = 5pq\left( {p - q} \right)\left( {p + q} \right)$

Substitute $5pq\left( {p - q} \right)\left( {p + q} \right)$ for $5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right)$ in $5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right) \div 2p\left( {p + q} \right)$ and simplify.

$5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right) \div 2p\left( {p + q} \right) = \dfrac{{5pq\left( {p - q} \right)\left( {p + q} \right)}}{{2p\left( {p + q} \right)}}$

$5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right) \div 2p\left( {p + q} \right) = \dfrac{5}{2}q\left( {p - q} \right)$

The value of $5pq\left( {{p^2} - {q^2}} \right) \div 2p\left( {p + q} \right)$ is $\dfrac{5}{2}q\left( {p - q} \right)$.

vi. Factorise the expression and divide $12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right) \div 4xy\left( {3x + 4y} \right)$.

Ans: Factorise $12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right)$ by using the formula ${a^2} - {b^2} = \left( {a - b} \right)\left( {a + b} \right)$.

$12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right) = 12xy\left( {3x - 4y} \right)\left( {3x + 4y} \right)$

Substitute $12xy\left( {3x - 4y} \right)\left( {3x + 4y} \right)$ for $12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right)$ in $12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right) \div 4xy\left( {3x + 4y} \right)$ and simplify.

$12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right) \div 4xy\left( {3x + 4y} \right) = \dfrac{{12xy\left( {3x - 4y} \right)\left( {3x + 4y} \right)}}{{4xy\left( {3x + 4y} \right)}}$

$12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right) \div 4xy\left( {3x + 4y} \right) = 3\left( {3x - 4y} \right)$

The value of $12xy\left( {9{x^2} - 16{y^2}} \right) \div 4xy\left( {3x + 4y} \right)$ is $3\left( {3x - 4y} \right)$.

vii. Factorise the expression and divide $39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right) \div 26{y^2}\left( {5y + 7} \right)$.

Ans: The expression $39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right)$ can be written as $39\left( 2 \right){y^3}\left( {{{\left( {5y} \right)}^2} - {{\left( 7 \right)}^2}} \right)$.

Factorise $39\left( 2 \right){y^3}\left( {{{\left( {5y} \right)}^2} - {{\left( 7 \right)}^2}} \right)$ by using the formula ${a^2} - {b^2} = \left( {a - b} \right)\left( {a + b} \right)$.

\[39\left( 2 \right){y^3}\left( {{{\left( {5y} \right)}^2} - {{\left( 7 \right)}^2}} \right) = 39\left( 2 \right){y^3}\left( {5y - 7} \right)\left( {5y + 7} \right)\]

Substitute \[39\left( 2 \right){y^3}\left( {5y - 7} \right)\left( {5y + 7} \right)\] for $39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right)$ in $39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right) \div 26{y^2}\left( {5y + 7} \right)$ and simplify.

$39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right) \div 26{y^2}\left( {5y + 7} \right) = \dfrac{{39\left( 2 \right){y^3}\left( {5y - 7} \right)\left( {5y + 7} \right)}}{{26{y^2}\left( {5y + 7} \right)}}$

$39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right) \div 26{y^2}\left( {5y + 7} \right) = 3y\left( {5y - 7} \right)$

The value of $39{y^3}\left( {50{y^2} - 98} \right) \div 26{y^2}\left( {5y + 7} \right)$ is $3y\left( {5y - 7} \right)$.
