9y^2 -12y^4 = 3y^2 *(3 - 4y^2)

Answer:

\(3y^2(3 - 4y^2)\) is the factored form

Step-by-step explanation:

\(9y^2 - 12y^4\)

GCF of 9 and 12 is 3

GCF of variable is y^2

\(9y^2 - 12y^4\) Take out GCF 3y^2

\(3y^2(3 - 4y^2)\)

we cannot factor out 3-4y^2, because 3 is not a perfect square

\(3y^2(3 - 4y^2)\)
