(i) 9x4 – x2 – 12x – 36
(ii) x3 – 5x2 – x + 5
Answer :
(i) 9x4 – x2 – 12x – 36
Above terms can be written as,
9x4 – (x2 + 12x + 36)
We know that, (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(3x2)2 – (x2 + (2 × 6 × x) + 62)
So, (3x2)2 – (x + 6)2
We know that, a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
(3x2 + x + 6) (3x2 – x – 6)
(ii) x3 – 5x2 – x + 5
x3 – 5x2 – x + 5
Take out common in all terms,
x2(x – 5) – 1(x – 5)
(x – 5) (x2 – 1)
(x – 5) (x2 – 12)
We know that, a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
(x – 5) (x + 1) (x – 1)
