Question

(i) 4m2 + 8m + 4 factorise the following

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\blue{Question}}}}}$

4m²+8m+4

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\blue{To\ Do:}}}}}$

Factorise:

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\blue{Answer}}}}}$

(4m+4)(m+1)

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\blue{Explanation}}}}}$

4m²+8m+4

4m²+4m+4m+4

4m(m+1)+4(m+1)

(4m+4)(m+1)

Hence, Answer is

(4m+4)(m+1)

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\tt{\blue{(4m+4)(m+1)}}}}}$
