Factorise a2b-25 (polynomial) |
|
Answer» <P>Answer: •Let (a−2b)=p, then the EQUATION 2(a−2b) 2 −25(a−2b)+12 becomes 2p 2 −25p+12 Consider the expression 2p 2 −25p+12 we can factorise it as follows: 2p 2 −25p+12=2p 2 −24p−p+12=2p(p−12)−1(p−12)=(2p−1)(p−12) Now, SUBSTITUTE the VALUE of p as p=(a−2b): (p−12)(2p−1)=(a−2b−12)(2(a−2b)−1)=(a−2b−12)(2a−4b−1) Hence, 2(a−2b) 2 −25(a−2b)+12=(a−2b−12)(2a−4b−1). |
