Question

Factorise using the difference of two squares:
I)4x squared-(2x+3) squared

Answer 1

4x² - (2x + 3)²
4x² - (2x + 3)(2x + 3)
4x² - (2x(2x + 3) + 3(2x + 3))
4x² - (2x(2x) + 2x(3) + 3(2x) + 3(3))
4x² - (4x² + 6x + 6x + 9)
4x² - (4x² + 12x + 9)
4x² - 4x² - 12x - 9
-12x - 9
-3(4x) - 3(3)
-3(4x + 3)
