Factorize 21x² – 2x + 1/21

Question:

Factorize: \[ 21x^2-2x+\frac{1}{21} \]

Solution:

\[ 21x^2-2x+\frac{1}{21} \]

\[ =21x^2-2\left(x\cdot\frac{1}{21}\right)+\frac{1}{21^2}\cdot21 \]

\[ =21\left(x^2-\frac{2x}{21}+\frac{1}{441}\right) \]

\[ =21\left(x-\frac{1}{21}\right)^2 \]

\[ =\left(\sqrt{21}x-\frac{1}{\sqrt{21}}\right)^2 \]

\[ \boxed{21\left(x-\frac{1}{21}\right)^2} \]
