7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 2 = 0, not a positive integer.

2 - 3 = -1, a negative integer.

Obviously, the difference is only positive if the number being subtracted is smaller than the number it is being subtracted from.

Given x^2 -4x+4 is a factor of the polynomial 2x^4 - 11x^3 +68x-80, completely factor the polynomial using algebraic methods.

Answer:

2x^4-11x^3+68x-80

2x^4-4x^3-7x^3+14x^2-14x^2+28x+40x-80

2x^3(x-2)-7x^2(x-2)-14x(x-2)+40(x-2)

(x-2)(2x^3-7x^2-14x+40)

(x-2)(2x^3-4x^2-3x^2+6x-20x+40)

(x-2)(2x^2(x-2)-3x(x-2)-20(x-2))

(x-2)(x-2)(2x^3-3x-20)

(x-2)(x-2)(2x^2+5x-8x-20)

(x-2)(x-2)(x(2x+5)-4(2x+5))

(x-2)(x-2)(2x+5)(x-4)

(x-2)^2(2x+5)(x-4)
