Factorise: A2 - 23a -108 - Mathematics

factorise: a² - 23a -108

Sum

a² - 23a -108

= a² - 27a + 4a - 108 ...[27 × 4 = 108 and 27 -4 = 23]

= a(a - 27) + 4(a - 27)

= (a - 27)(a + 4)

Factorise by the grouping method : a⁴ - 2a³ - 4a + 8

Factorise by the grouping method :
`a^2 + 1/a^2 - 2 - 3a + 3/a`

Factorise using the grouping method :
m (x - 3y)² + n (3y - x) + 5x - 15y

Factorise : ab - 2b + a² - 2a

Factorise : xy - ay - ax + a² + bx - ab

Factorise : - x²y - x + 3xy + 3

Factorise : ax + 2bx + 3cx - 3a - 6b - 9c

factorise: a² + 5a + 6

factorise: 3a²x - bx + 3a² - b

Factorise the following by grouping the terms:
x + y + m(x + y)
