Correction in the question:
Factorize 9(2x + 3y)² + 12(2x + 3y)(2x - 3y) + 4(2x - 3y)²
Solution:
- We know that (a - b)² = (a - b)(a - b), therefore (2x - 3y)² can be written as (2x - 3y) (2x - 3y)
- 4(2x - 3y) is common in both 12(2x + 3y)(2x - 3y) and 4(2x - 3y)(2x - 3y), So let's take (2x - 3y) out as a common factor and put the two terms inside brackets.
- On operating the terms inside the square brackets we get;
- On operating 9(2x + 3y)² we get;
- On opening the brackets for 9[4x² + 9y² + 12xy] we get;
- On operating 4(2x - 3y) we get;
- On opening the brackets for (8x - 12y) (8x + 6y) we get;
- On re-arranging based on like terms we get;
- 100x² can be written as (10x)²
- 60xy can be written as 2(10x)(3y)
- 9y² can be written as (3y)²
- This equation is of the form (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab, where a = 10x and b = 3y, therefore it can be written as (10x + 3y)²
Hence factored.
