Factories the following
6x2 – 54
In given expression
Take out the common factor,
[2 × 3 × x × x-2 × 3 × 3 × 3]
⇒ 2 × 3[x × x-3 × 3]
⇒ 6[x2-9]
Both terms are perfect square
⇒ x2 = x × x
⇒ 9 = 3 × 3
∴ x2– 9 Seems to be in identity a2-b2 = (a + b)(a-b)
Where a = x and b = 3;
x2– 9 = (x-3)(x + 3)
Hence the factors of 6x2 – 54 are 6,(x-3) and (x + 3)
