5.1 Pull out like factors: 9x2y - 24xy2+ 16y3=y•(9x2- 24xy + 16y2)
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :5.2 Factoring9x2- 24xy + 16y2 Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error Found a factorization:(3x - 4y)•(3x - 4y)
Detecting a perfect square :5.39x2-24xy+16y2 is a perfect square It factors into(3x-4y)•(3x-4y) which is another way of writing(3x-4y)2 How to recognize a perfect square trinomial: • It has three terms • Two of its terms are perfect squares themselves • The remaining term is twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms
Final result : y • (3x - 4y)2
