Factorize the expressions and divide them as directed:
15lm (2p2–2q2) ÷ 3l (p + q)
In the given term
Dividend = 15lm (2p2–2q2)
In given expression (2p2–2q2)
Take out the common factor in binomial term
⇒ (2 × p × p – 2 × q × q)
→ 2(p2 – q2)
Both terms are perfect square
⇒ p2 = p × p
⇒ q2 = q × q
∴ (p2 – q2) Seems to be in identity a2-b2 = (a + b)(a-b)
Where a = p and b = q;
p2 – q2 = (p + q)(p – q)
Hence the factors of p2 – q2 are (p + q) and (p – q)
Divisor = 3l (p + q)
= ![]()
= ![]()
= 10m(p – q)
Hence dividing 15lm (2p2–2q2) by 3l (p + q) gives out 10m(p – q)
