1.a) xy + 2y - x2 + 4
= y ( x + 2 ) - ( x2 - 4 ) = y ( x + 2 ) - ( x - 2 ) ( x + 2 ) = ( x + 2 )( y - x + 2 )
b) 2x2 + y2 + 3xy
= ( 2x2 + 2xy ) + ( y2 + xy )
= 2x ( x + y ) + y ( x + y )
= ( x + y ) ( 2x + y )
2.
x - y = 5 \(\Rightarrow\)( x - y )2 = 25 \(\Rightarrow\)x2 + y2 = 25 + 2xy = 25 + 2.3 = 31
A = ( x + y )2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 31 + 6 = 37
