What is the missing step?

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this
