Q2 of 105 Page 274

Factories the following

49x2 – 25y2

In given expression


Both terms are perfect square


49x2 = 7x × 7x


25y2 = 5y × 5y


49x2-25y2 Seems to be in identity a2-b2 = (a + b)(a-b)


Where a = 7x and b = 5y;


49x2 – 25y2 = (7x + 5y)(7x-5y)


Hence the factors of 49x2 – 25y2 are (7x + 5y) and (7x-5y)
