Question

Factorise (x-y)^2-(x-y)^3=?

Answer 1

`\left(x-y\right)^2\left(1-x+y\right)`

Explanation:

You factor out the common term first.

You should get the equation below.

`\left(x-y\right)^2\left(1-\left(x-y\right)\right)`

then you get rid of the negative inside
`\left(1-\left(x-y\right)\right)`

and will be simplified to this.

`\left(x-y\right)^2\left(1-x+y\right)`
