Resolve into factors :
(x – 1) (x + 1) (x + 3) (x + 5) + 7
-
- (x + 2 + √2)(x + 2 − √2)
(x + 2 + 2√2)(x + 2 − 2√2) - (x − 2 + √2)(x − 2 − √2)
(x + 2 + 2√2)(x + 2 − 2√2) - (x − 2 − √2)(x + 2 + √2)
(x − 2 − 2√2)(x − 2 − 2√2) - None of these
- (x + 2 + √2)(x + 2 − √2)
Correct Option: A
(x – 1) (x + 5) (x + 1) (x + 3) + 7
= (x2 + 5x – x – 5) (x2 + 3x + x + 3) + 7
= (x2 + 4x – 5) (x2 + 3x + x + 3) + 7
Putting x2 + 4x = y, we have,
Expression = (y – 5) (y + 3) + 7
= y2 – 5y + 3y – 15 + 7
= y2 – 2y – 8
= y2 – 4y + 2y – 8
= y (y – 4) + 2 (y – 4)
= (y + 2) (y – 4)
Now,
y + 2 = x2 + 4x + 2
= x2 + 4x + 2 – 2
= (x + 2)2 – (√2)2
(x + 2 + √2)(x + 2 − √2)
Again, y – 4
= x2 + 4x – 4
= x2 + 4x + 4 – 8
= (x + 2)2 – (2√2)2
= (x + 2 + 2√2)(x + 2 − 2√2)
∴ Factorisation is
= (x + 2 + √2)(x + 2 − √2)
(x + 2 + 2√2)(x + 2 − 2√2)
