1. Question:Factorise `xx^2`+9x+20. 

    Answer
    `xx^2`+9x+20
    
    =`xx^2`+5x +4x +20
    
    =x(x+5)+(x+4)
    
    =(x+5)  (x+4)

  3. Question:6`xx^2` + 11xy - 10`y^2` 

    Answer
    6`xx^2` + 11xy - 10`y^2`
    =6`xx^2`+ 15xy - 4xy - 10`y^2`
    =3x(2x +5y) -2(2x+5y)
    =(3x-2y) (2x+5y)

  4. Question:Factorise `y^2`- y - 42 

    Answer
    `y^2`- y - 42 
    =`y^2`- 7y + 6y - 42
    =y(y+7) + 6(y-7)
    =(y-7) (y+6)

  5. Question:Factorise `x^2` - `y^2` and hence evaluate `100^2` - `99^2` 

    Answer
    `x^2` - `y^2`
    =(x+y) (x-y)
    `:.` `100^2` - `99^2`
    =(100+99) (100-99)
    =199+1
    =200
