Full solution

Q. Which of the following is equivalent to 8x28xy+12y2 -8 x^{2}-8 x y+12 y^{2} ?
  1. Factor out GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor from each term.\newline8x28xy+12y2-8x^2 - 8xy + 12y^2\newline= 4(2x2+2xy3y2)-4(2x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2)
  2. Pattern in Quadratic: Look for a pattern in the quadratic expression inside the parentheses. \newline2x2+2xy3y22x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2\newlineThis looks like it might be factorable using the middle term breaking method.
  3. Factor Quadratic: Factor the quadratic expression.\newline2x2+2xy3y22x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2\newline= 2x2+3xyxy3y22x^2 + 3xy - xy - 3y^2\newline= (2x2+3xy)(xy+3y2)(2x^2 + 3xy) - (xy + 3y^2)\newline= x(2x+3y)y(x+3y)x(2x + 3y) - y(x + 3y)\newline= (xy)(2x+3y)(x - y)(2x + 3y)
