What is the factorization of 216x12 – 64?

a. (6x3 – 4)(36x6 + 24x3 + 16)
b. (6x3 – 4)(36x9 + 24x3 + 16)
c. (6x4 – 4)(36x8 + 24x4 + 16)
d. (6x4 – 4)(36x12 + 24x4 + 16)

The answer is C. (6x4 – 4)(36x8 + 24x4 + 16)

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

6, 10

9, -13

12, -21

18, -23

step-by-step explanation:

you just add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 10 from the y-coordinate.
