factorise\newline & x29 \text { \& } x^{2}-9

Full solution

Q. factorise\newline & x29 \text { \& } x^{2}-9
  1. Recognize Difference of Squares: Recognize that x29x^2 - 9 is a difference of squares.\newlinex29=(x)2(3)2x^2 - 9 = (x)^2 - (3)^2
  2. Apply Formula: Apply the difference of squares formula: a2b2=(a+b)(ab)a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b). (x29)=(x+3)(x3)(x^2 - 9) = (x + 3)(x - 3)
  3. Check Solution: Check the solution by expanding (x+3)(x3)(x + 3)(x - 3) to ensure it equals x29x^2 - 9.\newline(x+3)(x3)=x23x+3x9(x + 3)(x - 3) = x^2 - 3x + 3x - 9\newline=x29= x^2 - 9
