Factor the trinomial, if possible.
-$$x ^ { 2 } + 4 x y - 192 y ^ { 2 }$$
A) $( x + 16 y ) ( x - 12 y )$
B) prime
C) $( x - 16 y ) ( x + y )$
D) $( x - 16 y ) ( x + 12 y )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trinomial can be factored by finding two numbers that multiply to $-192y^2$ and add to $4y$. These numbers are $16y$ and $-12y$, leading to the factorization $(x + 16y)(x - 12y)$.
