To find all the factors of (9x2 − 1) − (1 + 3x)2, let us factorise it. 9x2-1-1+3x2=9x2-1-1+6x+9x2 ∵a+b2=a2+2ab+b2 =9x2-1-1-6x-9x2 =-2-6x =-21+3x Thus, the factors of (9x2 − 1) − (1 + 3x)2 are –2 and 3x + 1. Hence, the correct option is (d).
One of the factors of (25x2−1)+(1+5x)2 is A) 5+x B) 5−x C) 5x−1 D) 10x
