Answer:

The factors of the polynomial are 5,  ( 3x - 2y), and  (3x + 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is 45x² - 20y²

45x² - 20y² = 5 (9x² - 4y²)

45x² - 20y² = 5 [ (3x)² - (2y)² ]

Using difference of two squares,  (3x)² - (2y)² = ( 3x - 2y)(3x + 2y)

45x² - 20y² = 5 ( 3x - 2y) (3x + 2y)

The factors of the polynomial are 5,  ( 3x - 2y), and  (3x + 2y)

Answer:

5(3x - 2)(3x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please indicate exponentiation with " ^ " :  45 x^2 - 20 y^2​.

Identify the GCF and factor it out:  5(9x^2 - 4y^2)

Recognize that (9x^2 - 4y^2) is the difference of two squares, which factors into (3x - 2y)(3x + 2y)

Then   45 x^2 - 20 y^2 = 5(3x - 2)(3x + 2)
