algebra precalculus - How to determine if 2+x+y is a factor of 4(x+y)2?



I know it is a factor but how could have I determined that it was? Feel free to link whatever concept is needed than solve it. Studying for clep and it's one of the practice problems. When I expand it I get nonsense.


Answer



Use difference of squares: 4(x+y)2=22(x+y)2=(2(x+y))(2+(x+y)).
