Write (9p^2-16q^2) in factors.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ((3p-4q)(3p+4q))

The direct answer is option A: \(3p-4q)(3p+4q)\). Here \(9p^2=(3p)^2\) and \(16q^2=(4q)^2\), so the expression is \( (3p)^2-(4q)^2\). Apply \(A^2-B^2=(A-B)(A+B)\) to get \( (3p-4q)(3p+4q)\). Option A expands to \(9p^2-12pq+12pq-16q^2=9p^2-16q^2\), so the middle terms cancel. Option B expands to \(9p^2-7pq-16q^2\), adding an unwanted term. Option C gives \(9p^2-24pq+16q^2\), not a difference of squares. Option D has leading coefficient \(81p^2\), not \(9p^2\). Memory cue: when two squares have a minus sign, use conjugate factors.
