Question

Difference of two squares : 9xy^2-16y?

Answer 1

Please be sure to include the instructions when you post a problem.

For example: "Factor the difference of 2 squares 9xy^2 - 16y."

Unfortunately, your 9xy^2 is not a perfect square. Please double check the original problem. Did you mean 9(xy)^2 - 16? Unfortunately, 16y is not a perfect square either.

If you had 9(xy)^2 - 16y^2, this would factor into (3xy + 4y)(3xy - 4y).

Answer 2

9xy^2 - 16y

y(9xy^2 - 16y/ y)

y(9xy - 16)

hope this helped, God bless!
