If Possible, Factor the Polynomial Completely $15 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } + 16 x y ^ { 2 } + 4 y ^ { 2 }$

question 83

Multiple Choice

If possible, factor the polynomial completely. If a polynomial cannot be factored, state that it is prime.
- $15 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } + 16 x y ^ { 2 } + 4 y ^ { 2 }$

• A) \(y ^ { 2 } ( 3 x + 2 ) ( 5 x + 2 )\)
• B) \(y ^ { 2 } ( x + 2 ) ( 15 x + 2 )\)
• C) \(( 5 x + 2 y ) ( 3 x + 2 y )\)
• D) \(( 3 x + 2 y ) ( 5 x + 2 y )\)
