Use the formula a2 – b2 = (a b)(a – b) to factor completely. what are the factors of 36x8 – 49? (9x4 – 1)(4x2 49) (36x4 – 7)(x2
1 answer:
The factors of 36x^8 – 49 are (6x^4-7)(6x^4+7).
We are given to factor the following polynomial completely:
36x^8 – 49.
We have to find the complete factor of the given polynomial.
Completely factor means to continuously factor terms until they are in simple terms, meaning you are no longer able to factor
<h3>What is the formula for (a^2-b^2)?</h3>
The formula for (a^2-b^2)= (a+b) (a-b).
Therefore applying the given formula we have,
Thus, the required factors are
Therefore,option (C) is correct.

Answer:
We can define a horizontal dilation/contraction of scale factor A, as:
g(x) = f(x*A)
if A > 1, this will be a contraction (it will be steeper)
if 0 < A < 1, this will be a dilation. (it will be less steep)
Then if we have:
g(x) = f(6*x) we have a contraction of scale factor 6, this means that the graph of the parent function will be contracted.
Below, you can see how the graphs change, where:
Blue is f(x) =x
green is g(x) = f(6*x) = 6*x
