Question

b) (3x + 1)² – (2x + 1)²
c) - 5x² + 10xy – 5y² + 20z²
 

Answer 1

\(a,=\left(3x+1-2x-1\right)\left(3x+1+2x+1\right)=x\left(5x+2\right)\\ b,=5\left[4z^2-\left(x-y\right)^2\right]=5\left(2z-x+y\right)\left(2z+x-y\right)\)

Answer 2

\(b,\left(3x+1\right)^2-\left(2x+1\right)^2\\ =\left[\left(3x+1\right)+\left(2x+1\right)\right]\left[\left(3x+1\right)-\left(2x+1\right)\right]\)

\(=\left(3x+1+2x+1\right)\left(3x+1-2x-1\right)\\ =x\left(5x+2\right)\)

\(c,-5x^2+10xy-5y^2+20z^2\\ =-5\left(x^2-2xy+y^2-4z^2\right)\\ =-5\left[\left(x^2-2xy+y^2\right)-\left(2z\right)^2\right]\\ =-5\left[\left(x-y\right)^2-\left(2z\right)^2\right]\\ =-5\left(x-y+2z\right)\left(x-y-2z\right)\)
