Answer:

1)option  (b) is correct.

2) option (a) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorization is breaking of an expression into smaller form such that the product of those factors gives back the same expression.

1) Given : [tex]q^2-12q+36[/tex]

We have to factorize the given equation completely.

Consider the given equation [tex]q^2-12q+36[/tex]

the given equation  [tex]q^2-12q+36[/tex] is a quadratic equation, we will solve it using middle term splitting method,

-12q can be written as - 6q - 6q

[tex]q^2-12q+36[/tex]  becomes,

[tex]\Rightarrow q^2-6q-6q+36[/tex]

Taking q common from first two term and -6 from last two term, we have,

[tex]\Rightarrow q(q-6)-6(q-6)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow (q-6)(q-6)[/tex]

Thus, option  (b) is correct.

2)

Given : [tex]9x^2+12x+4[/tex]

Consider the given equation [tex]9x^2+12x+4[/tex]

the given equation [tex]9x^2+12x+4[/tex] is a quadratic equation, we will solve it using middle term splitting method,

12x can be written as 6x + 6x

[tex]9x^2+12x+4[/tex]  becomes,

[tex]\Rightarrow 9x^2+6x+6x+4[/tex]

Taking 3x common from first two term and 2 from last two term, we have,

[tex]\Rightarrow 3x(3x+2)+2(3x+2)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow (3x+2)(3x+2)=(3x+2)^2[/tex]

Thus, option (a) is correct.

1. (q-6)(q-6)

2. (3x+2)^2
