Question
Factorize each of the following algebraic expression:
49 − x2 − y2 + 2xy
Solution
\[49 - x^2 - y^2 + 2xy\]
\[ = 49 - ( x^2 - 2xy + y^2 )\]
\[ = 49 - ( x^2 - 2 \times x \times y + y^2 )\]
\[ = 7^2 - (x - y )^2 \]
\[ = [7 - (x - y)][7 + (x - y)]\]
\[ = (7 - x + y)(7 + x - y)\]
\[ = (x - y + 7)(y - x + 7)\]
