Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Factorise the quadratic expression 6x² + 11x + 3.
[3 marks]2.
Expand the expression (4x + 5)(x + 2) and write it in the form ax² + bx + c.
[3 marks]3.
Solve for x: 3x² + 5x - 2 = 0 using factorisation.
[3 marks]4.
Identify the mistake: Factorise 2x² + 7x + 3 as (2x + 1)(x + 3).
[2 marks]5.
Express the quadratic 5x² + 14x + 8 as a product of two binomials.
[3 marks]6.
A rectangular garden has an area modeled by 3x² + 8x + 4. Find the dimensions by factorising the quadratic.
[4 marks]7.
Construct a quadratic with roots at x= -1 and x= 2, and factorise it.
[3 marks]8.
Plot the graph of y=2x² + 7x + 3 on the grid provided.
