For quadratic polynomial. We factorize the middle term such that the
product of the terms is equal to the product of the last term and
coefficient of x2 and sum or difference is equal to the middle term.
(i) 12x2 - 7x + 1
For the equation given above:7 is to be factorized such that, the product
of two terms is 12 x 1 = 12 and the sum is equal to 7This can be done by
3 and 4as 3 x 4 = 12and 3 + 4 = 7 Therefore,
12x2 - 7x + 1
= 12x2 – 4x – 3x + 1
= 4x (3x – 1) – 1 (3x – 1)
= (3x – 1) (4x – 1)
(ii) 2x2 + 7x + 3
For the equation given above:7 is to be factorized such that, the product
of two terms is 3 x 2 = 6 and the sum is equal to 7This can be done by 6
and 1as 6 x 1 = 6and 6 + 1 = 7
Therefore,2x2 + 7x + 3 = 2x2 + 6x + x + 3
= 2x (x + 3) + 1 (x + 3)
= (x + 3) (2x + 1)

(iv) 3x2 - x - 4
For the equation given above:7 is to be factorized such that, the product
of two terms is 4 x 3 = 12 and the difference = 1This can be done by 4
and 3as 4 x 3 = 12and 4 - 3 = 1Therefore,
3x2 - x - 4= 3x2 – 4x + 3x – 4
= (3x-4) (x+1)
= x (3x – 4) + 1 (3x – 4)
= (3x – 4) (x + 1)
