Factorize:$x^2 - 2\sqrt{2}x- 30$


Given :

$x^2 - 2\sqrt{2}x- 30$

To do :

We have to factorize the given expression.

Solution :

$x^2 - 2\sqrt{2}x- 30=x^{2}-5 \sqrt{2} x+3 \sqrt{2} x-30$                  [Since $-5 \sqrt{2} x+3\sqrt{2} x=-2 \sqrt{2} x$ and $-5 \sqrt{2} x\times3\sqrt{2} x=-30\times x^2$]

$=x(x-5 \sqrt{2})+3 \sqrt{2}(x-5 \sqrt{2})$

$=(x-5 \sqrt{2})(x+3 \sqrt{2})$

Hence, $x^2 - 2\sqrt{2}x- 30=(x-5 \sqrt{2})(x+3 \sqrt{2})$.
