We have to factorise x² + 4x + 8y + 4xy + 4y²
There are two variables in the given expression. let's try to arrange it in the proper format to solve this expression.
x² + 4x + 8y + 4xy + 4y²
= x² + 4xy + 4y² + 4x + 8y
= (x)² + 2(x)(2y) + (2y)² + 4(x + 2y)
we know, (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
so, (x)² + 2(x)(2y) + (2y)² = (x + 2y)²
= (x + 2y)² + 4(x + 2y)
= (x + 2y)[(x + 2y) + 4]
= (x + 2y)(x + 2y + 4)
Therefore the factors of x² + 4x + 8y + 4xy + 4y² are (x + 2y) and (x + 2y + 4)
