Question:

Factorize each of the following algebraic expression:
49 − x2 − y2 + 2xy

Solution:

$49-x^{2}-y^{2}+2 x y$

$=49-\left(\mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \mathrm{xy}+\mathrm{y}^{2}\right)$

$=49-\left(\mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \times \mathrm{x} \times \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{y}^{2}\right)$

$=7^{2}-(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y})^{2}$

$=[7-(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y})][7+(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y})]$

$=(7-\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})(7+\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y})$

$=(\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}+7)(\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}+7)$
