Q. write this expression in his completely factored form 27x2−3
Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the expression 27x2−3. The GCF of 27x2 and 3 is 3.
Factor out GCF: Factor out the GCF from the expression. 3(9x2−1)
Recognize difference of squares: Recognize that the expression inside the parentheses is a difference of squares. 9x2−1 can be written as (3x)2−(1)2, which is a difference of squares.
Apply formula: Apply the difference of squares formula: a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b). Factor the expression inside the parentheses using the difference of squares formula. 3(9x2−1)=3((3x+1)(3x−1))
Write final factored form: Write the final factored form of the original expression.The completely factored form of 27x2−3 is 3(3x+1)(3x−1).
