What is the factorisation of 4x² + 12x + 9?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2x + 3)²

The correct answer is D: (2x + 3)². Compare the expression with a² + 2ab + b². We have 4x² = (2x)² and 9 = 3². The middle term predicted by the identity is 2 × (2x) × 3 = 12x, exactly the given middle term. Hence 4x² + 12x + 9 = (2x + 3)², or (2x + 3)(2x + 3). Option A would expand to 4x² + 36x + 81, so both its middle and constant terms are wrong. Option B would expand to 16x² + 24x + 9, so its first coefficient is wrong. Option C would expand to 4x² − 12x + 9, giving the opposite sign for the middle term. Option D expands to 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9 = 4x² + 12x + 9, so it is correct. Memory cue: take the square root of the first and last terms, then use the sign of the middle term.
