Hi, Most of your problems can be solved using the following 3 identities: 1)2) 3) I'm solving a few below - go through these and try the rest yourself. 1) = => Now it is of the form a^3 + b^3 = --> Using identity (2) Choice D 2) = => Now it is of the form a^3 - b^3 = ---> Using identity (1) Choice E 3) = => Now it is of the form a^2 - b^2 = ---> Using identity (3) Choice B 4) ---> take out the common factor of -2 = = => Now it is of the form a^2 - b^2 = ---> Using identity (3) = ---> since w^2 - 25 is also of the form a^2 - b^2 Choice E Hope you get the idea now :)
