Express 9x^2 + 24xy + 16y^2 as the product of two same expressions |
|
Answer» Note that: 9 x 2 = ( 3 x ) 2
24 x y = 2 ( 3 x ) ( 4 y )
16 y 2 = ( 4 y ) 2
So: 9 x 2 + 24 x y + 16 y 2 = ( 3 x ) 2 + 2 ( 3 x ) ( 4 y ) + ( 4 y ) 2 is in the FORM: A 2 + 2 A B + B 2 = ( A + B ) 2
So putting A = 3 x and B = 4 y we have: 9 x 2 + 24 x y + 16 y 2 = ( 3 x + 4 y ) 2 |
