Factorize 3sin2𝜃−12𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃+9

Solution

To factorize the expression 3sin2θ12sinθ+93\sin^2\theta - 12\sin\theta + 9, we can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the expression:

    The given expression is a quadratic expression in terms of sinθ\sin\theta.

  2. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF):

    We see that the GCF of all the terms is 33, so we factor that out: 3(sin2θ4sinθ+3)3(\sin^2\theta - 4\sin\theta + 3)

  3. Factorize the quadratic expression:

    Now, we need to factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses: sin2θ4sinθ+3\sin^2\theta - 4\sin\theta + 3.

    We look for two numbers that multiply to 33 (the constant term) and add to 4-4 (the coefficient of sinθ\sin\theta).

    These numbers are 3-3 and 1-1, so we can factorize the quadratic as: (sinθ3)(sinθ1)(\sin\theta - 3)(\sin\theta - 1)

  4. Combine the factorizations:

    Putting it all together, we have: 3(sinθ3)(sinθ1)3(\sin\theta - 3)(\sin\theta - 1)

Thus, the factorized form of 3sin2θ12sinθ+93\sin^2\theta - 12\sin\theta + 9 is:

3(sinθ3)(sinθ1)3(\sin\theta - 3)(\sin\theta - 1)
