    \[{{({{a}^{2}}+2a)}^{2}}+12\,({{a}^{2}}+2a)-45\] can be expressed as

    A) \[(a-1)(a-3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]

    B) \[(a-1)(a+3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]

    C) \[(a+1)(a+3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]

    D) \[(a+1)(a-3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{({{a}^{2}}+2a)}^{2}}+12\,({{a}^{2}}+2a)-45\]
    Let        \[({{a}^{2}}+2a)=x\]
    Then,    \[{{x}^{2}}+12x-45={{x}^{2}}+15x-3x-45\]
                            \[=x\,(x+15)-3\,(x+15)\]
                            \[=(x+15)(x-3)\]
    Now, putting the value of x in these factors.
                \[=({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)({{a}^{2}}+2a-3)\]
                \[=({{a}^{2}}+3a-a-3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]
                \[=[a\,(a+3)-1\,(a+3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]
    \[=(a-1)(a+3)({{a}^{2}}+2a+15)\]
