Question
Factorise the following:
12x2 + 36x2y + 27y2x2
Advertisements
Solution
3x2[4 + 12y + 9y2]
= 3x2[9y2 + 12y + 4]
Product = 9 × 4 = 36, sum = 12
Split the middle term as 6y and 6y
12x2 + 36x2y + 21y2x2 = 3x2[9y2 + 12y + 4]
= 3x2[9y2 + 6y + 6y + 4]
= 3x2[3y(3y + 2) + 2(3y + 2)]
= 3x²(3y + 2)(3y + 2)
= 3x2(3y + 2)2
