Answer» Step-by-step explanation:(B) STEP 1 : Equation at the END of step 1 ((64 • (a2)) - 48ab) + 32b2 STEP 2 : Equation at the end of step 2 : (26a2 - 48ab) + 32b2 STEP 3 : Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial 3.1 Factoring 64a2 - 48ab + 9b2 Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error Found a factorization : (8a - 3b)•(8a - 3b) Detecting a perfect square : 3.2 64a2 -48ab +9b2 is a perfect square It factors into (8a-3b)•(8a-3b) which is another way of writing (8a-3b)2 How to recognize a perfect square trinomial: • It has three terms • Two of its terms are perfect SQUARES themselves • The remaining term is TWICE the product of the square roots of the other two termsFinal result : (8a - 3b)2 (D) STEP 1 : Equation at the end of step 1 ((a2) + 22ab) + 112b2 STEP 2 : Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial 2.1 Factoring a2 + 22ab + 121b2 Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error Found a factorization : (a + 11b)•(a + 11b) Detecting a perfect square : 2.2 a2 +22ab +121b2 is a perfect square It factors into (a+11b)•(a+11b) which is another way of writing (a+11b)2 How to recognize a perfect square trinomial: • It has three terms • Two of its terms are perfect squares themselves • The remaining term is twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms Final result : (a + 11b)2 |
