Which is the factorised form of 9x² + 24xy + 16y²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3x + 4y)²

The direct answer is A: (3x + 4y)². Compare the expression with the identity u² + 2uv + v² = (u + v)². The first term 9x² is (3x)², and the last term 16y² is (4y)². Now check the middle term: 2(3x)(4y) = 24xy, exactly as required. Therefore 9x² + 24xy + 16y² = (3x + 4y)². Option A is correct because its expansion gives all three original terms. Option B gives −24xy, so only the middle sign is wrong. Option C uses 9x and 16y instead of their square roots, so its first and last terms are much too large. Option D gives a middle coefficient 6x² + 24xy + 8y² after multiplication, not the required trinomial. Memory cue: for a perfect square, the middle term must be twice the product of the square roots of the first and last terms.
