please create
a worksheet with solutions for factoring 4 term
polynomials by grouping
Okay, here is a worksheet designed for your IGCSE Year 11 students on factoring 4-term
polynomials by grouping, complete with solutions.

Factoring 4-Term Polynomials by Grouping - IGCSE Worksheet


Instructions: Factor each polynomial completely using the grouping method. Show your steps
clearly.
Section 1: Basic Factoring by Grouping
1. x³ + 3x² + 2x + 6

2. 2y³ - y² + 6y - 3

3. ab + 5a + 3b + 15

4. x²y² - 3x² + 4y² - 12

5. 6m³ + 4m² + 3m + 2

Section 2: Factoring by Grouping with Rearranging


Hint: Sometimes you need to rearrange the terms first!
6. 10ax - 5ay - 6bx + 3by

7. x² + 2yz + 2xz + xy

8. 3mp + 15mq - np - 5nq

9. 2cd + 6c - 7d - 21

10. 12pq - 18p - 2q + 3

Section 3: More Challenging Problems


11. x⁴ + 2x³ - 3x - 6

12. 4a³ - 12a² - 5a + 15

13. 9mn - 15m + 3n - 5

14. 2x²y + 6x² - 5y - 15

15. 8p³ - 12p² + 10p - 15


Solutions
Here are the solutions to the worksheet. Encourage your students to show their work and
compare it to the steps below.
Section 1: Basic Factoring by Grouping
1. x³ + 3x² + 2x + 6

x²(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)

(x² + 2)(x + 3)

2. 2y³ - y² + 6y - 3

y²(2y - 1) + 3(2y - 1)

(y² + 3)(2y - 1)

3. ab + 5a + 3b + 15

a(b + 5) + 3(b + 5)

(a + 3)(b + 5)

4. x²y² - 3x² + 4y² - 12

x²(y² - 3) + 4(y² - 3)

(x² + 4)(y² - 3)

5. 6m³ + 4m² + 3m + 2

2m²(3m + 2) + 1(3m + 2)

(2m² + 1)(3m + 2)

Section 2: Factoring by Grouping with Rearranging


6. 10ax - 5ay - 6bx + 3by

5a(2x - y) - 3b(2x - y)

(5a - 3b)(2x - y)

7. x² + 2yz + 2xz + xy

x² + xy + 2xz + 2yz Rearrange terms


x(x + y) + 2z(x + y)

(x + 2z)(x + y)

8. 3mp + 15mq - np - 5nq

3m(p + 5q) - n(p + 5q)

(3m - n)(p + 5q)

9. 2cd + 6c - 7d - 21

2c(d + 3) - 7(d + 3)

(2c - 7)(d + 3)

10. 12pq - 18p - 2q + 3


6p(2q - 3) - 1(2q - 3)

(6p - 1)(2q - 3)

Section 3: More Challenging Problems


11. x⁴ + 2x³ - 3x - 6

x³(x + 2) - 3(x + 2)

(x³ - 3)(x + 2)

12. 4a³ - 12a² - 5a + 15

4a²(a - 3) - 5(a - 3)

(4a² - 5)(a - 3)

13. 9mn - 15m + 3n - 5

3m(3n - 5) + 1(3n - 5)

(3m + 1)(3n - 5)

14. 2x²y + 6x² - 5y - 15

2x²(y + 3) - 5(y + 3)

(2x² - 5)(y + 3)

15. 8p³ - 12p² + 10p - 15

4p²(2p - 3) + 5(2p - 3)

(4p² + 5)(2p - 3)

I hope this worksheet is helpful for your students! Let me know if you would like any
modifications or further resources.
