Q3 of 105 Page 274

Factories the expressions-

p2q – pr2 – pq + r2

In the given expression


Check weather there is any common factors for all terms;


None;


Regrouping the 1st 2 terms we have,


p2q – pr2 = p[pq – r2] -------eq 1


Regrouping the last 2 terms we have,


– pq + r2 = -1[pq – r2] -------eq 2


we have to make common parts in both eq 1 and 2


Combining eq 1 and 2


p2q – pr2 – pq + r2 = p[pq – r2] -1[pq – r2]


= [pq – r2][p - 1]


Hence the factors of[p2q – pr2 – pq + r2] are [pq – r2] and [p - 1]
