Answer:


(4x-9)^2*(2x^2+2x+1)^2

Explanation:

(((4x-9)•(((2•(x2))+2x)+1))•(4x-9))•((2x2+2x)+1)

] (((4x-9)•((2x2+2x)+1))•(4x-9))•(2x2+2x+1)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

Factoring 2x2+2x+1

The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .

The middle term is, +2x its coefficient is 2 .

The last term, "the constant", is +1

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 1 = 2

Step-2 : Find two factors of 2 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .

-2 + -1 = -3

-1 + -2 = -3

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 1 = 3

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

((4x-9)•(2x2+2x+1)•(4x-9))•(2x2+2x+1)

Multiplying Exponential Expressions:

4.1 Multiply (4x-9) by (4x-9)

The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.

In our case, the common base is (4x-9) and the exponents are :

1 , as (4x-9) is the same number as (4x-9)1

and 1 , as (4x-9) is the same number as (4x-9)1

The product is therefore, (4x-9)(1+1) = (4x-9)2

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

5.1 Factoring 2x2+2x+1

The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .

The middle term is, +2x its coefficient is 2 .

The last term, "the constant", is +1

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 1 = 2

Step-2 : Find two factors of 2 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .

-2 + -1 = -3

-1 + -2 = -3

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 1 = 3

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Multiplying Exponential Expressions:

5.2 Multiply (2x2+2x+1) by (2x2+2x+1)

The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.

In our case, the common base is (2x2+2x+1) and the exponents are :

1 , as (2x2+2x+1) is the same number as (2x2+2x+1)1

and 1 , as (2x2+2x+1) is the same number as (2x2+2x+1)1

The product is therefore, (2x2+2x+1)(1+1) = (2x2+2x+1)2

Final result :

(4x - 9)2 • (2x2 + 2x + 1)2
