(i) a4 – b4 + 2b2 – 1
(ii) x3 – 25x
Answer :
(i) a4 – b4 + 2b2 – 1
Above terms can be written as,
a4 – (b4 – 2b2 + 1)
We know that, (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
a4 – ((b2)2) – (2 × b2 × 1) + 12)
(a2)2 – (b2 – 1)2
We know that, a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
(a2 + b2 – 1) (a2 – b2 + 1)
(ii) x3 – 25x
x3 – 25x
Take out common in all terms,
x(x2 – 25)
Above terms can be written as,
x(x2 – 52)
We know that, a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
x(x + 5) (x – 5)
