Factories the following
81x4 – 121x2
In given expression
Take out the common factor,
[3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × x × x × x × x - 11 × 11 × x × x]
⇒ x × x[3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × x × x - 11 × 11]
⇒ x2[81x2 – 121]
In expression 81x2 - 121
Both terms are perfect square
⇒ 81x2 = 9x × 9x
⇒ 121 = 11 × 11
∴ 81x2 – 121 Seems to be in identity a2-b2 = (a + b)(a-b)
Where a = 9x and b = 11;
81x2 – 121 = (9x-11)(9x + 11)
Hence the factors of 81x4 – 121x2 are x2,(9x-11) and (9x + 11)
