(i) x2 − 8x − 16 = 0
⇒ x2 − 4x − 4x + 16 = 0
⇒ x(x − 4) − 4(x − 4) = 0
⇒ (x − 4) (x − 4) = 0
when x − 4 = 0 then x = 4
or x − 4 = 0 then x = 4
Hence, x = 4, 4 are required roots of given equation.
(ii) y2 + 20y + 100
= y2 + (2 × (10))y + (10 × 10)
= y2 + (2 × 10 × y) + 102
This is of the form of identity
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
y2 + (2 × 10 × y) + 102 = (y + 10)2
y2 + 20y + 100 = (y + 10)2
y2 + 20y + 100 = (y + 10)(y + 10)
(iii) 36m2 + 60m + 25
= 62m2 + 2 × 6m × 5 + 52
This expression is of the form of identity
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
(6m)2 + (2 × 6m × 5) + 52
= (6m + 5)2
36m2 + 60m + 25 = (6m + 5) (6m + 5)
(iv) 64x2 – 112xy + 49y2
= 82x2 – (2 × 8x × 7y) + 72y2
This expression is of the form of identity
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
(8x)2 – (2 × 8x × 7y) + (7y)2 = (8x – 7y)2
64x2 – 112xy + 49y2 = (8x – 7y)(8x – 7y)
(v) a2 + 6ab + 9b2 – c2
= a2 + 2 × a × 3b + 32b2 – c2
= a2 + (2 × a × 3b) + (3b)2 – c2
This expression is of the form of identity
[a2 + 2ab + b2] – c2 = (a + b)2 – c2
a2 + (2 × a × 3b) + (3b)2 – c2 = (a + 3b)2 – c2
Again this R.H.S is of the form of identity
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
(a + 3b)2 – c2 = [(a + 3b) + c][(a + 3b) – c]
a2 + 6ab + 9b2 – c2 = (a + 3b + c)(a + 3b – c)
