Question

factorize x-1-(x-1)2+ax-a

Answer 1

Given: The term: x - 1 - (x-1)² + ax - a.

To find: Factorise the given term.

Solution:

• Now we have given the term:

                    x - 1 - (x-1)² + ax - a

• We can rewrite it as:

                    (x-1) - (x-1)² + a(x-1)

                      (x-1) (1-(x-1))² + a(x-1)

                    (x-1) (1-x+1+a)

                    (x-1) (2-x+a)

Answer:

             So the factors are  (x-1) (2-x+a).
