Q2 of 105 Page 274

Factories the following

x2y2 – 64

In given expression


Both terms are perfect square


y2x2 = xy × xy


64 = 8 × 8


x2y2 – 64 Seems to be in identity a2-b2 = (a + b)(a-b)


Where a = xy and b = 8;


x2y2 – 64 = (xy-8)(xy + 8)


Hence the factors of x2y2 – 64 are (xy-8) and (xy + 8)
