Factories: (a^2-54 )^2-36 - Vidyadip

Question

Factories: $\left(a^2-54\right)^2-36$

✓

Answer

$\left(a^2-54\right)^2-36=\left(a^2-5 a\right)^2-6^2$
$=\left[\left(a^2-5 a\right)-6\right]\left[\left(a^2-5 a\right)+6\right]$
$=\left(a^2-5 a-6\right)\left(a^2-5 a+6\right)$
In order to factories $a^2-5 a-6$, we will find two number $p$ and $q$ such that $p+q=-5$ and $p q=-6$
Now,
$(-6)+1=-5 \text { And }(-6) \times 1=-6$
Splitting the middle term -5 in the given quadratic as $-6+a$, we get:
$a^2-5 a-6=a^2-6 a+a-6$
$=\left(a^2-6 a\right)+(a-6)$
$=a(a-6)+(a-6)$
$=(a+1)(a-6)$
Now, In order to factories $a^2-5 a+6$, we will find two numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p+q=-5$ and $p q=6$ Clearly,
$(-2)+(-3)=-5 \text { and }(-2) \times(-3)=6$
Splitting the middle term -5 in the quadratic as $-2 a-3 a$, we get:
$a^2-5 a+6=a^2-2 a-3 a+6$
$=\left(a^2-2 a\right)-(3 a-6)$
$=a(a-2)-3(a-2)$
$=(a-3)(a-2)$
$\therefore\left(a^2-5 a-6\right)\left(a^2-5 a+6\right)$
$=(a-6)(a+1)(a-3)(a-2)$
$=(a+1)(a-2)(a-3)(a-6)$
