Question
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
$4x^2+ abx - (a^2- b^2) = 0$

Answer

We have been given
$ 4 x^2+a b x-\left(a^2-b^2\right)=0 $
$ 4 x^2+2(a+b) x-2(a-b) x-\left(a^2-b^2\right)=0 $
$ 2 x(2 x+a+b)-(a-b)(2 x+a+b)=0 $
$ (2 x-(a-b))(2 x+a+b)=0$
Therefore,
$2x - (a - b) = 0$
$2x = a - b$
$\text{x}=\frac{\text{a}-\text{b}}{2}$
or,$ 2x + a + b = 0$
$2x = -(a + b)$
$\text{x}=\frac{-(\text{a}+\text{b})}{2}$
Hence, $\text{x}=\frac{\text{a}-\text{b}}{2}$ or $\text{x}=\frac{-(\text{a}+\text{b})}{2}$
