Factorize completely 81a 4 - 16b 4 - JAMB Mathematics 2021 Question

Factorize completely 81a\(^4\) - 16b\(^4\)

A

(3a + 2b)(2a - 3b)(9a2 + 4b2)

B

(3a - 2b)(2a - 3b)(4a2 - 9b2)

C

(3a - 2b)(3a + 2b)(9a2 + 4b2)

D

(6a - 2b)(8a - 3b)(4a3 - 9b2)

correct option: c

81a\(^4\) - 16b\(^4\) = (9a\(^2\))\(^2\) - (4b\(^2\))\(^2\)

= (9a\(^2\) + 4b\(^2\))(9a\(^2\) - 4b\(^2\))

9a\(^2\) - 4b\(^2\) = (3a - 2b)(3a + 2b)
