(3x-4)(3x-4)

1 answer

None of the given options are correct.

To correctly factor 9x^2-16, we can use the difference of squares formula, which states that a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).

In this case, a = 3x and b = 4. Therefore, we have:

9x^2 - 16 = (3x)^2 - 4^2
= (3x + 4)(3x - 4)

So the correct factored form of 9x^2-16 is (3x + 4)(3x - 4).
