Answer:

(3x + 4)^2

Explanation:

9x^2 + 24x + 16

Let's use middle term break method to factor this polynomial.

In Quadratic Factorization using Splitting of Middle Term which is x term is the sum of two factors and product equal to last term. Factor each pair by finding common factors.

we nee two number which give 144 wh3n multiplied and 24 when added.So, 12 and 12 is the number because 12*12=144 and 12+12=24.

9x^2 + (12+12)x +16

9x^2 +12x +12x +16

take common

3x(3x + 4) +4(3x +4)

take (3x + 4) as common

(3x +4)(3x*1 +4*1)

(3x +4)(3x +4)

(3x +4)^2
