Verified Answer :

Answer:

1)option  (b) is correct.

2) option (a) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorization is breaking of an expression into smaller form such that the product of those factors gives back the same expression.

1) Given : \(q^2-12q+36\)

We have to factorize the given equation completely.

Consider the given equation \(q^2-12q+36\)

the given equation  \(q^2-12q+36\) is a quadratic equation, we will solve it using middle term splitting method,

-12q can be written as - 6q - 6q

\(q^2-12q+36\)  becomes,

\(\Rightarrow q^2-6q-6q+36\)

Taking q common from first two term and -6 from last two term, we have,

\(\Rightarrow q(q-6)-6(q-6)\)

\(\Rightarrow (q-6)(q-6)\)

Thus, option  (b) is correct.

2)

Given : \(9x^2+12x+4\)

Consider the given equation \(9x^2+12x+4\)

the given equation \(9x^2+12x+4\) is a quadratic equation, we will solve it using middle term splitting method,

12x can be written as 6x + 6x

\(9x^2+12x+4\)  becomes,

\(\Rightarrow 9x^2+6x+6x+4\)

Taking 3x common from first two term and 2 from last two term, we have,

\(\Rightarrow 3x(3x+2)+2(3x+2)\)

\(\Rightarrow (3x+2)(3x+2)=(3x+2)^2\)

Thus, option (a) is correct.

1. (q-6)(q-6)

2. (3x+2)^2
