A Message from the Tutor

Thank for you buying this e-tutorial. The tutorial comprises of ten
tutorial lessons, and two review tutorial lessons all with
comprehensive solutions
One of my principal aims is to create a quality product. A great deal
of time went into viewing the suitability of questions, relating
examples to questions and sequencing questions in order of
difficulty. I gave a great deal of attention to the solutions, making
them as comprehensive as possible so that they can easily be
followed.
All the lessons have been tested in the classroom and have worked
well. I have found that with standard textbooks, quite often the
exercise questions do not relate to the given examples. Also difficult
questions seem to appear randomly, sometimes near the beginning
of the exercise, rather than at the end. Standard textbooks only give
brief answers and not fully worked solutions.
For a teacher, personal and non - commercial use comprises

giving out printed worksheets and solution sheets to classes
taught by the User only. It does not extend to making copies,
printed or electronic, available to other teachers or persons.
For other users, who are not teachers, personal and non commercial use comprises making printed copies for the User
only. It does not extend to making copies, printed or electronic,
available for retrieval by others.

Lesson 04 Solutions

x2 + 2x + 1 The third term has factors: (1, 1) and 1 + 1 = 2

Hence x2 + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)2
x2 + 4x + 4 The third term has factors: (1, 4), (2, 2) and 2 + 2 = 4

Hence x2 + 4x + 4 = (x + 2)2
x2 + 3x + 2 The third term has factors (1, 2) and 1 + 2 = 3

Hence x2 + 3x + 2 = (x + 1)(x + 2)
x2 + 5x + 4 The third term has factors (1, 4), (2, 2) and 1 + 4 = 5

Hence x2 + 5x + 4 = (x + 1)(x + 4)
x2 + 7x + 12 The third term has factors (1, 12), (2, 6), (3, 4)
and 3 + 4 = 7
Hence x2 + 7x + 12 = (x + 3)(x + 4)
x2 + 8x + 15 The third term has factors (1, 15), (3, 5)

and 3 + 5 = 8
Hence x2 + 8x + 15 = (x + 3)(x + 5)
and 2 + 10 = 12
Hence x2 + 12x + 20 = (x + 2)(x + 10)
and 2 + 8 = 10
Hence x2 + 10x + 16 = (x + 2)(x + 8)
and 3 + 6 = 9
Hence x2 + 9x + 18 = (x + 3)(x + 6)
10 x2 + 11x + 24 The third term has factors (1, 24), (2, 12), (3, 8),
(4, 6) and 3 + 8 = 11
Hence x2 + 11x + 24 = (x + 3)(x + 8)
11 x2 - 2x + 1 The third term has factors (1, 1) and 1 + 1 = 2

(ignore signs)
Hence x2 - 2x + 1 = (x - 1)2
12 x2 - 5x + 6 The third term has factors (1, 6), (2, 3) and 2 + 3 = 5
Hence x2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3)
13 x2 - 10x + 25 The third term has factors (1, 25), (5, 5)
and 5 + 5 = 10
Hence x2 - 10x + 25 = (x - 5)2
and 1 + 10 = 11
Hence x2 - 11x + 10 = (x - 1)(x - 10)
15 x2 - 12x + 36 The third term has factors (1, 36), (2, 18), (3, 12),
(4, 9), (6, 6) and 6 + 6 = 12
Hence x2 - 12x + 36 = (x - 6)2
16 x2 - 9x + 20 The third term has factors (1, 20), (2, 10), (4, 5)
and 4 + 5 = 9
Hence x2 - 9x + 20 = (x - 4)(x - 5)
17 x2 - 13x + 36 The third term has factors (1, 36), (2, 18), (3, 12),
(4, 9), (6, 6) and 4 + 9 = 13
Hence x2 - 13x + 36 = (x - 4)(x - 9)
and 2 + 7 = 9
Hence x2 - 9x + 14 = (x - 2)(x - 7)
19 x2 - 8x + 12 The third term has factors (1, 12), (2, 6), (3, 4)
and 2 + 6 = 8
Hence x2 - 8x + 12 = (x - 2)(x - 6)
20 x2 - 11x + 18 The third term has factors(1, 18), (2, 9), (3, 6)
and 2 + 9 = 11
Hence x2 - 11x + 18 = (x - 2)(x - 9)

3 are just (1, 3)
Look at adding or subtracting the factors to make the coefficient

of the second term, which is the x term
