(x+a)(a+b)=x²+(a+b)x+ab
=x³+ ax² + bx² + abx + c x² + acx + bcx + abc {removing the brackets}
= x³+ (a+b+c) x²+ (ab + bc + ca) x+abc {removing the common factors}
Step 4. Simplify
(p-2)(p+3)(p-4)= p³+(-2+3-4)p²+[(-2)(3)+(3)(-4)+(-4)(-2)]p+(-2)(3)(-4)
(p-2)(p+3)(p-4)= p³ - 3 p² - 10p + 2.
Ex3: Find the product of (3m-2)(3m+1)(3m-4)
Step 1 Write the identity
(3m-2)(3m+1)(3m-4)
=(3m)³+(-2 + 1 - 4)(3m)²+{(-2)(1)+(1)(-4)+(-4)(-2)}(3m)+(-2)(1)(-4)
Step 4.Simplify
=27m³+(-5) 9m²+(-2-4+8)(3m)+8
=27m³ - 45 m² + 6m + 8
(3m-2)(3m+1)(3m-4)= 27m³-45m²+6m+8
In this chapter we will learn to factorise a polynomial by splitting the middle term.
1) x2+14x+45
= x2 + 9x + 5x + 45
x(x + 9) + 5(x + 9)
= (x + 9) (x + 5)
= (x + 9)(x + 5) = x2 + 14x + 45
2) x2+14x+48
= x2 + 8x + 6x + 48 [ 48 = 8 x 6 ]
=x(x + 8) + 6(x + 8)
= (x + 8) (x + 6)
3) x2–11x–42
= x(x – 14) + 3(x – 14) [–42 = –14 x 3] = x(x + 9) – 4(x + 9)
4) u2–30u+216 8) x2–23x+132
5) x2–22x+120 9) x2–21x+108
= x2 – 12x – 10x + 120 [ 120 = -12 x -10 ]
= x2 -12x – 9x + 108 [ 108 = –12 x –9 ]
= x(x – 12)(x – 10)
= x(x – 12) – 9(x – 12)

Theorem 5
Proof. Let n be die total number of events in a sample space of random experiment.
Let m, be events favourable to A and m2 be events favourable to B.
P(A) = a. /'(«) = ^
n n
Since A and B are any two events, therefore it may be possible that they are not
mutually exclusive. Thus they may have some common events. Suppose m 2 are the
events , ■ favourable to A f| B.
P(Af)B) - ^
„, . „, , _„ m, + m, — m, m, m, m-,
n n n n
Cor. 1. If the events have no outcome in common i.e., they are mutually exclusive,
then Ar\B = <(> and, therefore, P (A n B) = P (<J>) = 0
P(AotB) = P(A) + P(B)-P(AHB). Since P(A C\B) is greater than of equal to 0, therefore
it follows that P (A or B)<P(A) + P (B). Note. Equality in the above result holds when A
and B are mutually exclusive.
Theorem 6
Proof. Let A\JB be one event and C be other event. Then P(A\JB\J C) = P [(A U B) U
C\ = P(A\JB)+P(C)-P[(A\JB)\JC\ (Applying addition rule)
= P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(A n B)-[P(A n Q+P(BC] Q-P(A\jBf\Q] , (Applying addition rule) i
= P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(AC\B)-P(Br\C)-P(Ar\C)+P(AC\BC\C)
P(AHB) = P(BctC)=PXAnC)
Theorem 7
P (A or not>0 = P(A) + P (not A) Event A or not A is a sure event since one of the two
events must occur.
Theorem 8
Proof. Impossible event contains no sample point. Therefore, the sample space S and
the impossible event <J) are mutually exclusive.
■=> SUty = 5 => P(S\J§)=P(S) =>_ P(S)+P($) = P(S) => (4>) = 0
Remarks. If A and B are two events associated with a random experiment, then
(ii) P (A) denotes the probability hot to happen. It is also denoted by P (Ac)
