Question

1.
Separate the terms of the following algebraic expression
(a) x2 - 2xy + y2
(b) 5a2 + 6ab - 2b2​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 2 (x- xy +y)

(b) 2 (5a + 3ab + 2b)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 2x - 2xy + 2y

We can take 2 as common in all the three terms

so it will be

2 (x - xy + y)

(b) 5a x 2 + 6ab + 2b x 2

= 5a x 2 + (2 x 3)ab + 2b x 2

Now we can see 2 common in every case

2 (5a + 3ab + 2b)
