Answer:
(x - 8y + z)(x - 2y - z)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorize :
x²-10xy + 16y²-z² + 6yz
Solution:
x²-10xy + 16y²-z² + 6yz
Firstly, make sure that all the terms are arranged in a well ordered manner:
x²-10xy + 16y²-z² + 6yz
Secondly, split the term (16y²) common to both equation:
(x²-10xy + 25y²) - 9y² -z² + 6yz
Thirdly, factorize both terms:
(x - 5y)² - 1(z² - 6yz + 9y²)
Factorizing the second term:
(x - 5y)² - (z - 3y)²
Using the difference of two squares, that is A² - B² = (A + B)(A - B):
(x - 5y)² - (z - 3y)² = [(x - 5y) + (z - 3y)][(x - 5y) - (z - 3y)]
= [x - 5y + z - 3y][x - 5y - z + 3y]
= (x - 8y + z)(x - 2y - z)
