14. Expand and simplify each of the following

expressions.
(a) 9a2 – (4a – 1)(a + 2)
(b) 3b(2 – b)-(1 + b)(1 – b)
(c) (5c + 6)(6c – 5) – (3 – 2c)(1 – 15c)
(d) (2d – 8)( 𝑑 – 4) – (3d – 6)( 𝑑 + 1)

15. (i) factorise 3x2 + 48x + 189 completely.

(ii) Given that 969 can be expressed as a
product of three prime numbers, find the sum of
these prime numbers.

16. Given that expression 2x2 – 2.9x – 3.6 can be

factorized into form 0.1(px + q)(rx + s), where p
, q, r and s are integers, find the value of p + q
+ r + s.

17. Factorise fully

(a) 16a2 – 9b2,
(b) 3f2 – 11f – 20
(c) 9x2 – 15x – 6

18. x is a positive integer

(i) Explain why (2x – 1) is an odd number
(ii) Write down an expression for the next
odd number which is greater than
(2x - 1)
(iii) Find and simplify the expressions of
the squares of these two odd numbers.
(iv) Hence, explain why the difference
between the squares of two
consecutive odd number is always
divisible by 8.
