Identify Structure of Expression: Step Title: Identify the Structure of the ExpressionConcise Step Description: Recognize that the expression is a trinomial that may be a perfect square trinomial or factorable using the difference of squares.Step Calculation: The expression is 64y6−48y3+9.Step Output: The expression is a trinomial.
Check for Perfect Square Trinomial: Step Title: Check for a Perfect Square TrinomialConcise Step Description: Determine if the first and last terms are perfect squares and if the middle term is twice the product of the square roots of the first and last terms.Step Calculation: The first term, 64y6, is a perfect square (8y3)2. The last term, 9, is a perfect square (3)2. The middle term, −48y3, is twice the product of 8y3 and 3, which is −2×8y3×3=−48y3.Step Output: The expression is a perfect square trinomial.
Write Factored Form: Step Title: Write the Factored Form of the Perfect Square TrinomialConcise Step Description: Express the trinomial as the square of a binomial.Step Calculation: The factored form is (8y3−3)2.Step Output: Factored Form: (8y3−3)2
