Factors of (16x2+4y2+36z2+16xy+24yz+48zx), are_____.
16x2+4y2+36z2+16xy+24yz+48zx),
= 16x2+4y2+36z2+2(8xy+12yz+24zx),
The given expression can be written as,
= (4x)2+(2y)2+(6z)z2+2[(4x)(2y)+(2y)(6z)+(6z)(4x)]
We know that,
a = 4x, b = 2y, c = 6z
= (4x+2y+6z)2
= (4x + 2y + 6z)(4x + 2y + 6z)
Hence, option b is the correct answer.
