Question

Select all polynomials that factor into a product into two binomials.
a)       25m2 – 9n2
b)      25m2 – 30mn + 9n2
c)       25m2 – 30mn – 9n2
d)      25m2 + 30mn + 9n2
e)      25m2 + 9n2

  1. a), b), c)
  2. a), b), d)
  3. only a)
  4. only d)

hintHint:

Quadratic polynomial is a polynomial in which the highest degree monomial is of the second degree.

The correct answer is: a), b), d)


    Here, we have to find the polynomials that can be factorised into two linear polynomials.
    We have, 25m2 – 9n2 = (5m)2 – (3n)2 = (5m – 3n) (5m + 3n)
    25m2 – 30mn + 9n2 = (5m)2 – 2(5m) (3n) + (3n)2 = (5m – 3n)2 = (5m – 3n) (5m – 3n)
    25m2 + 30mn + 9n2 = (5m)2 + 2(5m) (3n) + (3n)2 = (5m + 3n)2 = (5m + 3n) (5m + 3n).
    The other two polynomials cannot be factorised.
    Hence, the correct option is C.

    Factorisation is breaking down of a polynomial into polynomials of lesser degrees.
