Explanation:
9x(3x-9)^2+(3x-9)^3 = (9x + 3x -9)(3x-9)^29x(3x−9)2+(3x−9)3=(9x+3x−9)(3x−9)2
=(12x - 9)(3x-9)^2=(12x−9)(3x−9)2
=3(4x-3)(3x-9)^2=3(4x−3)(3x−9)2
You know that
(3x-9)^2= [3(x-3)]^2 = 9 * (x-3)^2(3x−9)2=[3(x−3)]2=9⋅(x−3)2
The expression becomes
3(4x-3)(3x-9)^2 = 27 * (4x-3)(x-3)^23(4x−3)(3x−9)2=27⋅(4x−3)(x−3)2
