Explanation:
Assuming you require to factorise the expressions
16
- 12
+ 4y ← factor out 4y from each term
= 4y(4
- 3y³ + 1)
--------------------------------
64ax² - 49ay² ← factor out a from each term
= a(64x² - 49y²) ← this is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , then
64x² - 49y²
= (8x)² - (7y)²
= (8x - 7y)(8x + 7y)
then
64ax² - 49ay² = a(8x - 7y)(8x + 7y)
