factorise 27x^2-75y^2Answer:
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(27 • (x2)) - (3•52y2)
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
33x2 - (3•52y2)
Step 3 :
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :4.1 Pull out like factors :
27x2 - 75y2 = 3 • (9x2 - 25y2)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
4.2 Factoring: 9x2 - 25y2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 9 is the square of 3
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : x2 is the square of x1
Check : y2 is the square of y1
Factorization is : (3x + 5y) • (3x - 5y)
Final result :
3 • (3x + 5y) • (3x - 5y)
