Question

a) A = x² - 4y² + 2x + 4y
b) A = 4x² - 9y² - 4x - 6y
c) A = 3x² - 3xy - 5x + 5y

Answer 1

a) A = x² - 4y² + 2x + 4y = (x-2y)(x+2y)+2(x+2y)=(x+2y)(x-2y+2)
b) A = 4x² - 9y² - 4x - 6y=(2x-3y)(2x+3y)-2(2x+3y)=(2x+3y)(2x-3y-2)
c) A = 3x² - 3xy - 5x + 5y=3x(x-y)-5(x-y)=(x-y)(3x-5)

Answer 2

a) \(A=x^2-4y^2+2x+4y=\left(x-2y\right)\left(x+2y\right)+2\left(x+2y\right)=\left(x+2y\right)\left(x-2y+2\right)\)

b) \(A=4x^2-9y^2-4x-6y=\left(2x-3y\right)\left(2x+3y\right)-2\left(2x+3y\right)=\left(2x+3y\right)\left(2x-3y-2\right)\)

c) \(A=3x^2-3xy-5x+5y=3x\left(x-y\right)-5\left(x-y\right)=\left(x-y\right)\left(3x-5\right)\)
