By grouping the terms in xyz - xy - z + 1, we get
(xy - z)(xy - 1)
(z - 1) (xy + 1)
(z + 1) (xy - 1)
(z - 1) (xy - 1)
xyz - xy - z + 1 = xy (z - 1) -1 (z - 1)
= (z - 1) (xy - 1)
By grouping the terms in x3 - x2 - xy + x + y - 1, we get
By grouping the terms in a3 + 7a2 + ba + 7b - a - 7, we get
By grouping the terms in x4 - 2x3 - 6x + 12, we get
Question 55 (ii)
Find the numerical coefficient of each of the terms:
10xyz, −7xy2z, −9xyz, 2xy2z, 2x2y2z2
On dividing 24xy2z2by 6yz2, we get
