\\ \tt\hookrightarrow f(x)=4x^2-12x+9

  • Factorise


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow f(x)=2x^2-2(2x)(3)+3^2


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow f(x)=(2x-3)^2

Answer:

  • D. f(x) = (2x - 3)²

Explanation:

Given function:

  • f(x) = 4x² - 12x + 9

Use identity:

  • (a ± b)² = a² ± 2ab + b²

We can see:

  • a = 2x and b = 3

Apply:

  • f(x) = (2x - 3)²

Correct choice is D
