Answer:
(4x + 3)(4x - 3)
Explanation:
I am going to assume by 16x2 -9 you mean 16x² - 9
The factorization means the factors are "broken" up. If you multiply them together, we will reach 16x² - 9 again.
First, we can look at factors of 9. This gives us 1, 3, and 9. We will use 3. Since the nine is negative, one will be + 3 and one will be - 3 since a negative times a positive is a negative.
( + 3)( - 3)
Last we can factor the 16x² portion. I know that 4 times 4 is 16, and 4x times 4x is 16x².
(4x + 3)(4x - 3)
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
