Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. (x - √5)(x + √5)
= x(x + √5) - √5(x + √5)
= x^2 + √5x - √5x - 5
= x^2 - 5.
b. 10 - 3x^2
= (√10 - √3x) (√10 + √3x)
(a) Ahmad's factorization is correct.
(b) (√10 - √3x)(√10 + √3x)
Given equation as
x² - 5 = (x - √5)(x + √5)
A Perfect Square is defined as when multiplying an integer by itself, we get a perfect square, which is a positive integer. In simple words, we can say that perfect squares are numbers that are the products of integers by themselves.
Solution of (a)
Taking RHS from the given equation
⇒ (x - √5)(x + √5)
⇒ x(x + √5) - √5(x + √5)
⇒ x² + √5x - √5x - 5
⇒ x² - 5.
So, RHS = LHS
Hence, Ahmad's factorization is correct.
Solution of (b)
⇒ 10 - 3x²
According to Ahmad's strategy
⇒ √10(√10 + √3x) - √3x(√10 + √3x)
⇒ (√10 - √3x)(√10 + √3x)
