Question

x^{3 +} 2x²y + xy² - 9x 

2x -2y -x² + 2xy - y²

x² - 2x - 4y² - 4y

Answer 1

a) \(x^3+2x^2y+xy^2-9x\)

\(=x\left(x^2+2xy+y^2-9\right)\)

\(=x\left[\left(x+y\right)^2-3^2\right]=x\left(x+y+3\right)\left(x+y-3\right)\)

b) \(2x-2y-x^2+2xy-y^2\)

\(=2\left(x-y\right)-\left(x-y\right)^2=\left(x-y\right)\left(2-x+y\right)\)

c) \(x^2-2x-4y^2-4y\)

\(=\left(x^2-4y^2\right)-\left(2x+4y\right)\)

\(=\left(x-2y\right)\left(x+2y\right)-2\left(x+2y\right)\)

\(=\left(x+2y\right)\left(x-2y-2\right)\)
