Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a^2 − b^2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b ) where a = 2p and b = 9 .
(2p + 9) (2p − 9)
For B : Consider the form x^2 + bx + c . Find a pair of integers whose product is c and whose sum is b . In this case, whose product is 36 and whose sum is − 13 .
Hello! So, you have 8 flowers. 2 are purple, 2 are red, and 4 are pink. That means, there are 4/8 or 1/2 Chance that the first flower to bloom will be pink. The probability is 1/2.
