what are the factors of the following polynomial? 9t^2 -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again difference of two squares. 9 is a perfect square of 3 and t^2 is the perfect square of t. 4 is a perfect square of two. So you're looking for a pair of parenthesis with a combination of 3t and a positive 4 and a negative 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, the order of the parenthesis is unimportant.
