Ahmad claims that the difference of squares method of factoring can be used even when the values aren't perfect squares. An example of his thinking is shown.

A Perfect Square is defined as when multiplying an integer by itself, we get a perfect square, which is a positive integer. In simple words, we can say that perfect squares are numbers that are the products of integers by themselves.

Solution of (a)

Taking RHS from the given equation

⇒ (x - √5)(x + √5)

⇒ x(x + √5) - √5(x + √5)

⇒ x² + √5x - √5x - 5

⇒ x² - 5.

So, RHS = LHS

Hence, Ahmad's factorization is correct.

Solution of (b)

⇒ 10 - 3x²

According to Ahmad's strategy

⇒ √10(√10 + √3x) - √3x(√10 + √3x)

⇒ (√10 - √3x)(√10 + √3x)
