Answer:
1.
[tex](y - 5)(x + y)[/tex]
2.
[tex]{(x - y)}(x - y + a)[/tex]
3.
[tex] (b - 3)(5b - 17)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The given polynomial is
[tex]x(y - 5) - y(5 - y)[/tex]
We need to factor the second part to get:
[tex]x(y - 5) + y(y - 5)[/tex]
We factor y-5 to obtain:
[tex](y - 5)(x + y)[/tex]
2. We have
[tex] {(x - y)}^{2} - a(y - x)[/tex]
We again factor -1 from the second part to get:
[tex] {(x - y)}^{2} + a(x- y)[/tex]
We now factor x-y to get:
[tex] {(x - y)}^{2} + a(x- y)[/tex]
[tex]{(x - y)}(x - y + a)[/tex]
3. We have
[tex] 2(3 - b) + 5 {(b - 3})^{2} [/tex]
We factor negative 1 from the first part to get
[tex] - 2(b - 3) + 5 {(b - 3})^{2} [/tex]
We now factor b-3 to get:
[tex] (b - 3)( - 2 + 5(b - 3))[/tex]
We now simplify to get:
[tex] (b - 3)( - 2 + 5b - 15) = (b - 3)(5b - 17)[/tex]
