Question

Factor completely 4x4 − 24x3 + 36x2.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$4x^4-24x^3+36x^2$

Taking out the greatest common factor.

$4x^2(x^2-6x+9)$

$4x^2(x^2-3x-3x+9)$

$4x^2(x(x-3)-3(x-3))$

$4x^2(x-3)(x-3)$

$4x^2(x-3)^2$

The complete factor form of the given expression is $4x^2(x-3)^2$.

Therefore the correct option is 1.

Answer 2

Factor out 4x² from everybody
4x²(x²-6x+9)
factor inner
what 2 numbers multipliy to gete 9 and add to get -6
-3 and -3
4x²(x-3)(x-3)
or
4x²(x-3)²


first option
