Which is the correct factorisation of 16u² − 24uv + 9v²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4u − 3v)²

The direct answer is B: (4u − 3v)². Use (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b². Choose a = 4u and b = 3v. Then a² = 16u², −2ab = −2(4u)(3v) = −24uv, and b² = 9v². Thus (4u − 3v)² expands exactly to the given expression. Option A has a plus sign and therefore produces +24uv. Option C begins with 256u², not 16u², and its cross term is also wrong. Option D expands to 16u² − 32uv − 9v², so both the middle and final terms differ. A negative middle term is the important clue: the two square-root parts must be subtracted. Check the cross term rather than relying only on the first and last terms.
