If Possible, Factor the Polynomial Completely $$12 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } + 7 x y ^ { 2 } - 12 y ^ { 2 }$$

question 9

Multiple Choice

If possible, factor the polynomial completely. If a polynomial cannot be factored, state that it is prime.
- $$12 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } + 7 x y ^ { 2 } - 12 y ^ { 2 }$$

• A) \(( 3 x + 4 y ) ( 4 x - 3 y )\)
• B) \(y ^ { 2 } ( x + 4 ) ( 12 x - 3 )\)
• C) \(y ^ { 2 } ( 3 x + 4 ) ( 4 x - 3 )\)
• D) \(( 4 x + 4 y ) ( 3 x - 3 y )\)
