Question 14 Marks
Resolve of the folloeing quadratic equation trinomials into factor: $15 x^2-16 x y z-15 y^2 z^2$
Answer
The given expression is $15 x^2-16 x y z-15 y^2 z^2$ (co-effcient of $x^2=15$, co-effcient of $x=16 y z$ and the constant term $=$ $-15 y^2$ ) 
We will split the co-efficient of $x$ into two parts such that thier sum in is $-16 y z$ 
and thier product equals to the product of the co-efficient of $x^2$ and the constant term,
 i.e., $15 \times\left(-15 y^2 z^2\right)=-225 y^2 z^2$
 Now, $(-25 y z)+(9 y z)=(-16 y z)$ And $(-25 y z) \times(9 y z)=-225 y^2 z^2$ Replacing the middle term $-16 x y z$ by $-25 x y z+9 x y z$, 
we have: $15 x^2-16 x y z-15 y^2 z^2=$ 
$15 x^2-25 x y z+9 x y z-15 y^2 z^2$ 
$=\left(15 x^2-25 x y z\right)+\left(9 x y z-15 y^2 z^2\right)$
$=5 x(3 x-5 y z)+3 y z(3 x-5 y z)$
$=(3 x-15 y z)(5 x+3 y z)$

Answer
The given expression is $2 x^2+5 x+3$
(Co-efficient of $x ^2=2$, co-efficient of $x=5$ and the constant term $=3$ )
We will split the co-efficient of $x$ into two number parts such that their sum is 5 and their product equals to the product of the co-efficient of $x^2$ and constant term, i.e., $2 \times 3=6$

Replacing the middle term $-54 x$ by $-33 x+-21 x$, we have:

$11 x^2-54 x+63=11 x^2-33 x-21 x+63$

$=\left(11 x^2-33 x\right)+(-21 x+63)$

Answer
The given expression is $14 x^2+11 x y-15 y^2$
(Co-efficient of $x^2=14$, co-efficient of $x=11 y$ and the constant term $=-15 y^2$ )
We will split the co-efficient of $x$ into two number parts such that their sum is $11 y$ and their product equals to the product of the co-efficient of $x^2$ and constant term, i.e. $\times\left(-15 y^2\right)=-210 y^2$
Now,
$(21 y)+(-10 y)=11 y \text { And }(21 y) \times(-10 y)=-210 y^2$
Replacing the middle term $-11 x y$ by $-10 x y+21 x y$, we have:

Answer
The given expression is $6 x^2-13 x y+2 y^2$

(Co-efficient of $x^2=6$, co-efficient of $x=-13 y$ and the constant term $=2 y^2$ )

We will split the co-efficient of $x$ into two number parts such that their sum is $-13 y$ and their product equals to the product of the co-efficient of $x^2$ and constant term, i.e., $6 \times\left(2 y^2\right)=12 y^2$

Now,

$(-12 y)+(-y)=-13 y \text { And }(-12 y) \times(-y)=12 y^2$

Replacing the middle term $-13 x y$ by $-12 x y-x y$, we have:

$6 x^2-13 x y+2 y^2=6 x^2-12 x y-x y+2 y^2$

$=\left(6 x^2-12 x y\right)-(x y-2 y)$

$=6 x(x-2 y)-y(x-2 y)$
