Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Factorize the first expression.

    The expression is X2−11X+30X^2 - 11X + 30. We need to find two numbers that multiply to 30 and add up to −11-11. These numbers are −5-5 and −6-6.

    X2−11X+30=X2−5X−6X+30X^2 - 11X + 30 = X^2 - 5X - 6X + 30
  2. Group the terms and factor out common factors.

    X(X−5)−6(X−5)X(X - 5) - 6(X - 5)
  3. Factor out the common binomial (X−5)(X - 5).

    (X−5)(X−6)(X - 5)(X - 6)

    The factorization for part i is (X−5)(X−6)\boxed{(X - 5)(X - 6)}.

  4. Factorize the second expression.

    The expression is 25X2−925X^2 - 9. This is in the form of a difference of squares, a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b).
    Here, a2=25X2a^2 = 25X^2, so a=25X2=5Xa = \sqrt{25X^2} = 5X.
    And b2=9b^2 = 9, so b=9=3b = \sqrt{9} = 3.

  5. Apply the difference of squares formula.

    25X2−9=(5X)2−(3)2=(5X−3)(5X+3)25X^2 - 9 = (5X)^2 - (3)^2 = (5X - 3)(5X + 3)

    The factorization for part ii is (5X−3)(5X+3)\boxed{(5X - 3)(5X + 3)}.
