Mastering Middle Term Splitting & Grouping (English & Nepali Methods)

PART 1: ENGLISH GUIDE & RULES

Key Rules for Mid-Term Splitting (ax² + bx + c)

1. Calculate Product and Middle Term:

Arrange the expression in standard form ax² + bx + c. Find the product of the first coefficient (a) and constant term (c): Product = a × c.

2. Assign Middle Term Sign First:

Always write down the sign of the middle term (b) immediately after the ax² term before choosing signs for factors.

3. Place Greater Factor First:

Find two factors, p and q, whose product equals a × c. Always place the greater numerical factor first right after the middle term sign.

4. Determine Sign for Smaller Factor:

Select either plus (+) or minus (-) for the smaller factor such that their combination satisfies the exact middle coefficient (b).

5. Grouping and Common Binomial Factor:

Split into 4 terms, group the first two and last two terms, factor out the common GCD from each pair, and extract the matching binomial factor to complete factorization.

Example 1 (EN) x² + 2x - 8

Product: 1 × (-8) = -8 | Middle Term: +2

Factors of 8: 4 and 2 (Greater factor 4 placed first)

Sign Check: +4x and -2x satisfies middle term +2x.

= x² + 4x - 2x - 8
= x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4)
= (x + 4)(x - 2)

Example 2 (EN) 3x² - 5x - 8

Product: 3 × (-8) = -24 | Middle Term: -5

Factors of 24: 8 and 3 (Greater factor 8 placed first)

Sign Check: Middle sign (-), so -8x and +3x satisfies -5x.

= 3x² - 8x + 3x - 8
= x(3x - 8) + 1(3x - 8)
= (3x - 8)(x + 1)


PART 2: NEPALI GUIDE & RULES (नेपाली नियमहरू)

Middle Term Splitting का सुवर्ण नियमहरू (ax² + bx + c)

१. गुणनफल र मध्य पद पहिचान गर्ने:

वर्ग समीकरणलाई ax² + bx + c को standard form मा राख्नुहोस्। पहिलो पदको गुणक (a) र अन्तिम अङ्क (c) को गुणनफल पत्ता लगाउनुहोस् (Product = a × c)।

२. Middle Term को Sign पहिला लेख्ने:

Split गर्दा सधैँ Middle term को चिन्ह (Sign) लाई ax² पदपछि जस्ताको तस्तै लेख्नुहोस्।

३. ठूलो Factor अगाडि राख्ने:

गुणनफल (a × c) बाट प्राप्त दुईवटा गुणनखण्डहरू (factors) मध्ये ठूलो अङ्कलाई सधैँ अगाडि (First) राख्नुहोस्।

४. सानो Factor को Sign छनोट गर्ने:

सानो अङ्कको अगाडि प्लस (+) वा माइनस (-) मध्ये कुन राख्दा Middle term संतुष्ट (satisfy) हुन्छ, सोही चिन्ह छनोट गर्नुहोस्।

५. साझा (Common) लिने र खण्डीकरण गर्ने:

४ वटा पद बनेपछि पहिलो दुई पद र अन्तिम दुई पदबाट साझा (Common) तान्नुहोस्। दुवैतर्फ साझा कोष्ठक (Binomial factor) आइसकेपछि त्यसलाई पुनः बाहिर निकालेर खण्डीकरण पूरा गर्नुहोस्।

उदाहरण १ x² + 2x - 8

Product: 1 × (-8) = -8 | Middle Term: +2

Factors of 8: 4 र 2 (ठूलो अङ्क 4 अगाडि)

Sign Check: +4x र -2x गर्दा +2x satisfy हुन्छ।

= x² + 4x - 2x - 8
= x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4)
= (x + 4)(x - 2)

उदाहरण २ 3x² - 5x - 8

Product: 3 × (-8) = -24 | Middle Term: -5

Factors of 24: 8 र 3 (ठूलो अङ्क 8 अगाडि)

Sign Check: Middle sign (-), त्यसैले -8x र +3x ले -5x दिन्छ।

= 3x² - 8x + 3x - 8
= x(3x - 8) + 1(3x - 8)
= (3x - 8)(x + 1)
