Question

Factorize the following polynomial.

(x2 – x)2 – 8 (x2 – x) + 12

Sum

Solution

(x2 – x)2 – 8 (x2 – x) + 12

Let x2 − x = z

∴ (x2 − x)2 − 8 (x2 − x) + 12

= z2 − 8z + 12

= z2 − 6z − 2z + 12

= z (z − 6) − 2 (z − 6)

= (z − 6)(z − 2)

= (x2 − x − 6) (x2 − x − 2)    ...(Replace z = x2 − x)

= (x2 − 3x + 2x − 6) (x2 − 2x + x − 2)

= [x (x − 3) + 2 (x − 3)] [x (x − 2) + 1 (x − 2)]

= (x − 3) (x + 2) (x − 2) (x + 1)
