Math Problem Statement
factorise i. 6x(2x – y) + 7y(2x – y)
ii. 2r(y – x) + s(x – y) iii. 9a(6a – 5b) – 12a2(6a – 5b) iv. (x – y)2 + (x – y) v. a(x – y) + 2b(y – x) + c(x – y)2 vi. x3(a – 2b) + x2(a – 2b)
Solution
Let's go step by step to factorize each of these expressions:
i.
Here, both terms share the common factor .
ii.
Notice that is the negative of , so we can factor out as a common factor.
iii.
Here, we see that both terms share the common factor , so we factor it out.
Factor the second term further:
iv.
We can factor out the common factor :
v.
We notice that , so we can rewrite the terms and factor them out.
Factor out :
vi.
Factor out the common factor :
