Factorise the expression:
(1+m)^{2}-4 ! m\left(\text { Hint: Expand }(1+m)^{2} \text { first }\right)
Solution:
\begin{aligned} &\text { Expand }(1+\mathrm{m})^{2} \text { using identity: }(x+y)^{2}=x^{2}+2 x y+y^{2}\\ &(1+m)^{2}-4 l m=l^{2}+m^{2}+2 m l-4 l m l\\ &=l^{2}+m^{2}-2 m l\\ &=(\mid-m)^{2}\\ & Usin g \text { identity: }(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}-2 x y+y^{2} \end{aligned}
