Problem

What is the factored form of $x^{2}+4 x y-21 y^{2} ?$ A. $x y(x+4-21 y)$ B. $(x-3 y)(x+7 y)$ C. $x(x+4 y)+y(4 x-21 y)$ D. $(x+3 y)(x-7 y)$

Solution

Step 1 :Factor the given expression: $x^{2}+4 x y-21 y^{2}$

Step 2 :Find the factors of the constant term (-21) and check if they satisfy the middle term (4x): $(x-3 y)(x+7 y)$

Step 3 :\( \boxed{(x-3 y)(x+7 y)} \)
