Factorize the following :
(i)(1−4a)(1−4a)(1−4a)
Given, 1−64a3−12a+48a2
The given equation can be written as:
=(1)3−(4a)3−3(1)2(4a)+3(1)(4a)2 ..........(i)
Now we know that:
a3−b3−3a2b+3ab2=(a−b)3
Comparing equation (i) with the above identity, we get:
∴(1)3−(4a)3−3(1)2(4a)+3(1)(4a)2
=(1−4a)3
Hence the factorized form is (1−4a)(1−4a)(1−4a)
(ii)
Given,
The given equation can be written as:
…(i)
Now we know that:
Comparing equation (i) with the above identity, we get:
Hence the factorized form is
