Q2 of 59 Page 10

Factorize the following expressions:

1 – 36x2


= 1 – 36x2
Given equation can be simplified as,

= (1)2 – (6x)2


It is of the form (p)2 – (q)2
Where p = 1 and q = 6x
using the identity: (p)2 – (q)2 = (p + q)(p – q)


We get,
(1)2 – (6x)2 = (1 + 6x)(1 – 6x)


1 – 36x2 = (1 + 6x)(1 – 6x)
