difference of perfect squares (level 2)
score: 0/2 penalty: 0.25 off
question
factor completely.
144x² - y⁶
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify perfect squares

$144x^2=(12x)^2$, $y^6=(y^3)^2$

Step2: Apply difference of squares formula

$a^2 - b^2=(a - b)(a + b)$ where $a=12x$, $b=y^3$

Step3: Write the factored form

$(12x - y^3)(12x + y^3)$

Answer:

$(12x - y^3)(12x + y^3)$
