Factorize X^2 - 2sqrt2x - 30 - Mathematics

Factorize `x^2 - 2sqrt2x - 30`

Splitting the middle term,

`= x^2 - 5sqrt2x + 3sqrt2x - 30` `[∵ -2sqrt2 = -5sqrt2 + 3sqrt2 also -5sqrt2 xx 3sqrt2 =-30]`

`x(x - 5sqrt2) + 3sqrt2(x - 5sqrt2)`

`= (x - 5sqrt2)(x + 3sqrt3)`

`∴ x^2 - 2sqrt2x - 30 = (x - 5sqrt2)(x + 3sqrt2)`
