Question

It keeps saying my answer is wrong after i identified the GCF as 3 but maybe I typed it wrong.

Answer 1

3(9t^5-7p^4)(9t^5+7p^4)

Explanation:

243 t^10 - 147 p^8

3 ( 81 t^10-49 p^8 )

Then we need to factor what is in the parentheses

3 ( ( 9t^5) ^2 - ( 7p^4) ^2)

This is the difference of squares ( a^2 -b^2) = ( a-b) (a+b)

3(9t^5-7p^4)(9t^5+7p^4)
