Final answer:
Yes, the expression -9t + 9 can be factored into the product of two factors, such as -3(t - 1)(3t - 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression -9t + 9 can indeed be factored into the product of two factors, different from the example given. To factor this expression, we look for two numbers that multiply to give the constant term (9) and add to give the coefficient of the linear term (-9). In this case, since 9 is a perfect square, the expression can be factored as (-3t + 3)(3t - 3) or simplified as -3(t - 1)(3t - 3). However, without an additional context or a specific example, there might be limitations to other factorizations. Therefore, the answer to the student's question would be yes, it is possible.
