The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:

y = 3*x - 6

<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>

A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = m*x + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.

Rewriting the given line we can get:

x +3y = 21

3y = 21 - x

y = 21/3 - x/3

y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3

Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:

m*(-1/3) = -1

m = 3

our line is:

y = 3*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)

-3 = 3*1 + b

-3 - 3 = b

-6 = b

The line is y = 3*x - 6

Answer:

8x² + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x² + 3)² - (x² - 1)² ← expand both factors using FOIL

= x^{4} + 6x² + 9 - (x^{4} - 2x² + 1) ← distribute by - 1

= x^{4} + 6x² + 9 - x^{4} + 2x² - 1 ← collect like terms

= 8x² + 8
