Q12 of 65 Page 137

Let us factorise the following algebraic expressions:

a2 – 9b2 + 4c2 – 25d2 – 4ac + 30bd

Given, a2 – 9b2 + 4c2 – 25d2 – 4ac + 30bd


a2 – 9b2 + 4c2 – 25d2 – 4ac + 30bd


a2 – 4ac + 4c2 – 9b2 – 25d2 + 30bd


a2 – 2(2ac) + (2c)2 – (3b)2 – (5d)2 + 2(3b)(5d)


(a – 2c)2 – (3b – 5d)2


[Since, from the identity III we know that, (x2 – y2) = (x – y)(x + y)]


((a – 2c) – (3b – 5d))(a – 2c – 3b + 5d)


(a – 2c – 3b – 5d)(a – 2c – 3b + 5d)
