Q. Rewrite the expression as a product of four linear factors:\newline(12x2+13x)2+4(12x2+13x)+3 \left(12 x^{2}+13 x\right)^{2}+4\left(12 x^{2}+13 x\right)+3 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Recognize Perfect Square Trinomial: Recognize the given expression as a perfect square trinomial. The expression given is (12x2+13x)2+4(12x2+13x)+3(12x^2 + 13x)^2 + 4(12x^2 + 13x) + 3. This resembles the form of a perfect square trinomial a2+2ab+b2a^2 + 2ab + b^2, which factors into (a+b)2(a + b)^2.
  2. Factor as Perfect Square: Factor the expression as a perfect square trinomial.\newlineLet's set a=(12x2+13x)a = (12x^2 + 13x) and b=2b = 2, then the expression becomes a2+2ab+b2a^2 + 2ab + b^2, which is a perfect square trinomial.\newlineSo, the expression can be written as ((12x2+13x)+2)2((12x^2 + 13x) + 2)^2.
  3. Expand for Verification: Expand the perfect square trinomial to verify the factorization.\newlineExpanding ((12x2+13x)+2)2((12x^2 + 13x) + 2)^2 gives us (12x2+13x)2+2(12x2+13x)2+22(12x^2 + 13x)^2 + 2*(12x^2 + 13x)*2 + 2^2, which simplifies to (12x2+13x)2+4(12x2+13x)+4(12x^2 + 13x)^2 + 4(12x^2 + 13x) + 4.\newlineHowever, we notice that the original expression has a constant term of 33, not 44. This means we made a mistake in our factorization.
