Q. We want to factor the following expression:

\newline

3 x^{2}-16 y^{5}

\newline

Which pattern can we use to factor the expression?

\newline

U

and

V

are either constant integers or single-variable expressions.

\newline

Choose

1

answer:

\newline

(A)

(U+V)^{2}

or

(U-V)^{2}

\newline

(B)

(U+V)(U-V)

\newline

(C) We can't use any of the patterns.

Analyze expression for factoring patterns: Analyze the given expression to determine if it fits any common factoring patterns. $\newline$ The given expression is $3x^2 - 16y^5$ . We need to check if this expression fits any of the provided patterns: $(U+V)^2$ , $(U-V)^2$ , or $(U+V)(U-V)$ .
Check for difference of squares pattern: Check if the expression is a difference of squares. $\newline$ The difference of squares pattern is $(U^2 - V^2) = (U + V)(U - V)$ . For the given expression $3x^2 - 16y^5$ to fit this pattern, both terms would need to be perfect squares. However, $3x^2$ is not a perfect square because $3$ is not a square number, and $16y^5$ is not a perfect square because the exponent $5$ is not even. Therefore, the expression does not fit the difference of squares pattern.
Check for perfect square trinomial: Check if the expression is a perfect square trinomial. $\newline$ The perfect square trinomial patterns are $(U+V)^2$ and $(U-V)^2$ . These patterns result in trinomials, but our expression is a binomial with only two terms. Therefore, the expression does not fit either of the perfect square trinomial patterns.
Determine if other factoring patterns apply: Determine if any other factoring patterns apply. $\newline$ Since the expression does not fit the difference of squares pattern or the perfect square trinomial patterns, and there are no common factors between $3x^2$ and $16y^5$ , we conclude that none of the provided patterns can be used to factor the expression.
