factorize the fllowings:(with steps)
1)(p^2)+(1/(p^2)- 2

(ans should be (p-(1/p))^2 )


2)(pq)^2 +(p/q)^2 +(q/p)^2 +(1/pq)^2

(ans should be (p^2 +(1/p^2)) (q^2 + (1/q^2)) )

✔ 最佳答案
1. p^2 + [1 / p^2] - 2
= (p)^2 - 2(p)(1 / p) + (1 / p)^2
= [p - (1 / p)]^2.......................Here we use a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2
2. (pq)^2 + (p / q)^2 + (q / p)^2 + (1 / pq)^2
= p^2 q^2 + p^2 / q^2 + q^2 / p^2 + 1 / (p^2 q^2)
= p^2 [q^2 + (1 / q^2)] + (1 / p^2)[q^2 + (1 / q^2)]
= [p^2 + (1 / p^2)][q^2 + (1 / q^2)]

1) (p^2)+(1/(p^2))- 2
= (p-(1/p))(p-(1/-p)). (ANS)

2) (pq)^2 +(p/q)^2 +(q/p)^2 +(1/pq)^2
= (p^2 +(1/p^2)) (q^2 + (1/q^2)) (ANS)

you should use the cross multiplication method for solving these.

personally, i think that solving these questions doesn't really require steps. instead, you should write out your working on the right hand side.
