Factorise:
63 a^{2}-112 b^{2}
Solution:
There are some identities, and the factorization is much simpler when employing them.
There are several expressions that can be factored that have the form of or can be put into the form of: a2 - b2
\begin{array}{l} =7\left(9 \mathrm{a}^{2}-16 \mathrm{b}^{2}\right) \\ =7\left((3 \mathrm{a})^{2}-(4 \mathrm{b})^{2}\right) \\ =7(3 \mathrm{a}+4 \mathrm{b})(3 \mathrm{a}-4 \mathrm{b}) \\ \text { Using Identity: } x^{2}-y^{2}=(x+y)(x-y) \end{array}
