The factorisation of the given expressions is as follows;

  • a) p²y²– 2py + 1 = (py -1)²
  • b) a²y² -2aby +b² = (ay - b)²

Factorization using identities

The given identity is;

  • a²– 2ab + b² = (a – b)²

From the given identity, we can conclude that;

In the expression (a);

  • py represents a in the identity and 1 represents b in the identity.

In the expression (b);

  • ay represents a in the identity and b represents b in the identity.

Hence, the factorised expressions are as represented above.
