Factorise (x²-4x) (x²-4x - 1) - 20

Good question,

Here is your perfect answer!

(x²-4x) (x²-4x - 1) - 20

= (x² - 4x)² - (x² - 4x) - 20

Let x²- 4x be y.

= y² - y - 20

= y² - 5y + 4y - 20

= y(y-5) + 4(y-5)

= (y+4) (y-5)

Put y = x² - 4x,

= (x² - 4x +4) (x² - 4x - 5)

Factorise both by middle term splitting method,

= (x-2)(x-2) (x-5)(x+1)

Factorise (x²-4x) (x²-4x - 1) - 20

Good question,

Here is your perfect answer!

(x²-4x) (x²-4x - 1) - 20

= (x² - 4x)² - (x² - 4x) - 20

Let x²- 4x be y.

= y² - y - 20

= y² - 5y + 4y - 20

= y(y-5) + 4(y-5)

= (y+4) (y-5)

Put y = x² - 4x,

= (x² - 4x +4) (x² - 4x - 5)

= (x² - 2x - 2x +4) (x² - 5x + x - 5)

= (x-2)² (x+1)(x-5)
