factorise : x2+ y2 + z2- 2xy - 2yz- 2zx.

Answer :

Factorise  :  x 2 + y2 + z2 -  2 xy  -  2 yz  - 2 zx 

x 2 + y2 + z2 -  2 xy  -  2 yz  - 2 zx  + 2 yz - 2 yz

( x 2 + y2 + z2 -  2 xy  +  2 yz  - 2 zx   ) - 4 yz

( x 2xy  - zx xy + y2  + yz  - zx + yz  + z2  ) - 4 yz

[ x ( x  -z ) - y ( x  -z ) - z ( x  -z ) ] - 4 yz

( x  -z ) ( x  -z ) - 4 yz   

( x  -z )2  - 4 yz                                                                         ( Ans )
