Choose the complete factorisation of \(3x^2y-12xy+12y\).

Answer and explanation

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

The direct answer is A: \(3x^2y-12xy+12y=3y(x-2)^2\). First identify the common factor in all three terms. Each term contains \(3y\), so taking it outside gives \(3y(x^2-4x+4)\). The remaining trinomial is a perfect square because \(x^2-4x+4=x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2=(x-2)^2\). Hence the complete factorisation is \(3y(x-2)^2\). Option B would expand to \(3y(x^2+4x+4)\), giving a positive middle term, so its sign is wrong. Option C does not preserve the terms correctly: expanding it gives \(3x^2y-12xy\) and loses the constant term \(12y\). Option D stops before completing the factorisation; its inner trinomial is still factorisable. The important habit is to continue after taking out a common factor and check whether what remains matches an identity.
