Factorise 1 – a – b + ab

(i) 1 – a – b + ab

(ii) a(a – 2b – c) + 2bc

Answer :

(i) 1 – a – b + ab

Take out common in all terms,

1(1 – a) – b(1 – a)

(1 – a) (1 – b)

(ii) a(a – 2b – c) + 2bc

a(a – 2b – c) + 2bc

Above question can be written as,

a2 – 2ab – ac + 2bc

Take out common in all terms,

a(a – 2b) – c(a + 2b)

(a – 2b) (a – c)
