Question
What is the factorization of the expression below?4x2 - 9y2A.(2x - 3y)(2x - 3y)B.(2x - 3y)(2x + 3y)C.(4x - 3y)(x + 3y)D.(4x - 3y)(x - 3y)SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
The expression 4x^2 - 9y^2 is a difference of squares, which can be factored using the formula a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b).
Here, a is 2x and b is 3y.
So, the factorization of the expression 4x^2 - 9y^2 is (2x - 3y)(2x + 3y).
Therefore, the correct answer is B.(2x - 3y)(2x + 3y).
