What is the correct factorisation of \(4x^2-12x+9\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((2x-3)^2\)

Correct answer: C. Use \(a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2\). The first term is \(4x^2=(2x)^2\), and the last term is \(9=3^2\). The middle term predicted by the identity is \(-2\cdot(2x)\cdot3=-12x\), exactly the given middle term. Hence \(4x^2-12x+9=(2x-3)^2\). A has the same first and last square roots but a plus sign, so it expands to \(4x^2+12x+9\). B expands to \(16x^2-24x+9\), changing the leading term. D expands to \(4x^2-36x+81\), changing both the middle and constant terms. The safest check is to identify the square roots of the first and last terms and then verify the middle term and its sign.
