Factorise the expression:
4 x^{2}-8 x+4
Solution:
There are some identities, and the factorization is much simpler when employing them. Given expressions that need to be factored have the following forms or can be transformed into them: a2 - 2ab + b2 =(a-b)2
\begin{array}{l} 4 x^{2}-8 x+4 \\ =(2 x)^{2}-2 \times 4 x+2^{2} \\ =(2 x-2)^{2} \\ \text { Using identity: }(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}-2 x y+y^{2} \end{array}
