Question

Factorise the term p^2-256

Answer 1

Answer:

(p+16) (p-16)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 - 256 is in the form of a^2-b^2

We know that: a^2-b^2 = (a+b) (a-b)

p^2 - 256 = (p)^2 - (16)^2

= (p+16) (p-16)

Even though 16 is a perfect square, we cannot factorise it even further, as 'p' isnt a perfect square. Hence, we can't factorise (p-16) even further.
