Q. We want to factor the following expression:(x+7)2+2y(x+7)+y2Which pattern can we use to factor the expression?U and V are either constant integers or single-variable expressions.Choose 1 answer:(A) (U+V)2 or (U−V)2(B) (U+V)(U−V)(C) We can't use any of the patterns.
Recognize the structure: Recognize the structure of the given expression.The given expression is x+7)^{2}+2y(x+7)+y^{2}\. We can observe that it has three terms: a square of \$x+7, a product of 2y and x+7, and a square of y.
Identify the pattern: Identify the pattern that matches the structure of the expression.The expression resembles the square of a binomial pattern, which is (U+V)2 or (U−V)2, where the first term is U2, the second term is 2UV, and the third term is V2.
Match with square of binomial: Match the terms of the expression with the square of a binomial pattern.In our case, U is (x+7) and V is y. The expression fits the pattern (U+V)2 because:- The first term (x+7)2 is U2.- The second term 2y(x+7) is 2UV.- The third term y2 is (x+7)0.
Write the factored form: Write the factored form using the identified pattern.Since the expression fits the pattern (U+V)2, we can write the factored form as ((x+7)+y)2.
