Q. Factor completely:\newline3d124d6h2+h4 3 d^{12}-4 d^{6} h^{2}+h^{4} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Factor: Identify the common factor in each term.\newlineThe expression is a trinomial in the form of a cubic polynomial with respect to d6d^6. We can try to factor by grouping or look for a pattern that resembles a known factored form. In this case, we notice that each term is a power of d6d^6 or h2h^2, suggesting that we might be able to factor this as a sum or difference of cubes.
  2. Rewrite as Cubes: Rewrite the expression as a difference of cubes if possible.\newlineWe can rewrite the expression as (d6)22(d6)(h2)+(h2)2(d^6)^2 - 2\cdot(d^6)\cdot(h^2) + (h^2)^2. This resembles the square of a binomial, (ab)2=a22ab+b2(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. Here, a=d6a = d^6 and b=h2b = h^2.
  3. Factor as Binomial: Factor the expression as the square of a binomial.\newlineUsing the pattern from Step 22, we can write the expression as (d6h2)2(d^6 - h^2)^2. This is the square of the binomial (d6h2)(d^6 - h^2).
  4. Factor Binomial Further: Factor the binomial further if possible.\newlineThe binomial d6h2d^6 - h^2 is a difference of squares, which can be factored as (d3+h)(d3h)(d^3 + h)(d^3 - h).
  5. Combine Factors: Combine the factors to write the final factored form.\newlineThe completely factored form of the expression is the square of the binomial we found in Step 44, which is ((d3+h)(d3h))2((d^3 + h)(d^3 - h))^2.
