MCQ
Factorise $(3 − 4y − 7y^2)^2− (4y + 1)^2$
  • A
    $(7y^2− 4) (7y^2− 8y − 2)$
  • $(4 − 7y^2) (2 − 8y − 7y^2)$
  • C
    $(7y^2− 4) (2 − 8y − 7y^2)$
  • D
    $(4 − 7y^2) (7y^2+ 8y − 2)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(4 − 7y^2) (2 − 8y − 7y^2)$
We have, $(3 − 4y − 7y^2) 2 − (4y + 1)^2$
We know that $a^2− b^2= (a + b) (a − b)$
$\therefore \Rightarrow (3 − 4y − 7y^2+ 4y + 1) (3 − 4y − 7y^2− 4y − 1)$
$\Rightarrow (4 − 7y^2) (2 − 8y − 7y^2)$
Hence, this is the answer.
