Question 290992: The Question is c^3+16cd+48cd
I looked at 16cd and I figured what you had to add to get 16
(c+14cd) (c+2cd)
In the back of the book it stated (c+12cd) (c+4cd)
Here is the example from the textbook to give a more clear explaination
x^2-10xy+21y^2
X^2-10xy+21y^2=(x-3y)(x-7y)
MY question is how can my answers be correct . Why would the text book answer say that 12 and 4 is the answer. I know that is another sum of 16 .
