Factorize the following using appropriate identities:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(i) 9x2 + 6xy + y2 = (3x)2 + (2 * 3x * y) + y2
Using identity, (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Here, a = 3x and b = y
9x2 + 6xy + y2 = (3x)2 + (2 * 3 * y) + y2
= (3x + y)2
= (3x + y) (3x + y)
(ii) 4y2 - 4y + 1 = (4y)2 - (2 * 2y * 1) + 12
Using identity, (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
Here, a = 2y and b = 1
4y2 - 4y + 1 = (2y)2 - (2 * 2y * 1) + 12
= (2y - 1)2
= (2y - 1) (2y - 1)
(iii) Using identity,
a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
Here, a = x and b = ()
x2 – = x2 – ()2
= () ()
