Solution
Factorised form of r2 – 10r + 21 is (r – 7)(r – 3).
Explanation:
We have, r2 – 10r + 21
= r2 – 7r – 3r + 21
= r(r – 7) – 3(r – 7) ...[By splitting the middle term, so that the product of their numerical coefficients is equal constant term]
= (r – 7)(r – 3) ...[∵ x2 + (a + b)x + ab = (x + a)(x + b)]
