=x(x2−2x+1−y2)
=x[(x−1)2−y2]
=x(x−1−y)(x−1+y)
b) −5x2+6x−1
=−(5x2−6x+1)
=−(5x2−5x−x+1)
=−[5x(x−1)−(x−1)]
=−(x−1)(5x−1)
c) x2y2+1−x2−y2
=x2y2+2xy+1−x2−2xy−y2
=(xy+1)2−(x+y)2
=(xy+1−x−y)(xy+1+x+y)
=[x(y−1)−(y−1)][x(y+1)+(y+1)]
=(y−1)(x−1)(y+1)(x+1)
d) 2x2+3x−5
=2x2+5x−2x−5
=x(2x+5)−(2x+5)
=(2x+5)(x−1)
