Problem

We're trying to factorize
(4x2+y2+9z2−4xy−6yz+12zx)
using a suitable algebraic identity.
This is what we get:
(Px−y+Qz)2
Find the missing values.
P=
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 6
  • a simplified proper fraction, like 3/5
  • a simplified improper fraction, like 7/4
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/4
  • an exact decimal, like 0.75
  • a multiple of pi, like 12 pi or 2/3 pi
