<span>a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.
In order to use the </span><span>'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.
</span><span>x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.
√x^2 = x
√4 = 2
Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).
</span>
<span>(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)
Our answer is final </span><span>(x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.
Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.</span>
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
So the denominator can be simplified to 5⁴ → 
and then the 3's cancel out and we are left with 5⁴
Now our new fraction is 
which then simplifies to 25
For 1. To estimate how many sports cards Alberto had, you would round each number to the nearest ten, so 318 would become 320. 273 would then become 270. You would then add those two and would get 590. So, Alberto had 590 sports cards (estimated). If you were looking for the actual answer (not estimated) , you would get 591.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
square with sides <em>s = 3cm</em>
four triangles with base <em>b = 3cm</em> and height <em>h = 9cm</em>.
The formula of an area of a square:
The formula of an area of a triangle:
Substitute:
The Surface Area:
Answer:
23 should have been subtracted from, not added to, both sides of the equation.
