Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 2004 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Factorize completely ac - 2bc - a + 4b2
Answer Details
To factorize the expression, we can group the terms as follows: ac - 2bc - a + 4b^2 = a(c - 1) - 2b(c - 2b) Now we can factor out the common factors: a(c - 1) - 2b(c - 2b) = (c - 1)(a - 2b) So the completely factored form of the expression is: ac - 2bc - a + 4b^2 = (c - 1)(a - 2b) Therefore, the correct answer is option A: (a - 2b)(c - a - 2b).
