Choose the factorised form of r² + 4rs + 4s² − 9.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (r + 2s − 3)(r + 2s + 3)

The direct answer is A: (r + 2s − 3)(r + 2s + 3). First inspect the first three terms. They form a perfect square: r² + 4rs + 4s² = (r + 2s)², because squaring gives r² + 2(r)(2s) + (2s)² = r² + 4rs + 4s². The complete expression is therefore (r + 2s)² − 9 = (r + 2s)² − 3². Apply the difference-of-squares identity u² − v² = (u − v)(u + v), with u = r + 2s and v = 3. This gives option A. Option B uses r − 2s; its square would contain −4rs, not +4rs. Option C does not arise from either matching identity, and multiplication does not reproduce the original terms. Option D is a single square; it would end with +9 rather than −9 and would not represent the given expression. Memory cue: when three terms form a square and a number is subtracted, treat the whole square as one object before using difference of squares.
