We can rewrite to obtain:
This is a difference of two squares, so we will factor using difference of squares pattern.

Then we can factor the given binomial to obtain:
Answer:
Greater than (>)
Step-by-step explanation:
Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles.
He wants to run further this week.
<u>Distance Run this week</u>
- 2.4 miles to the park,
- Four times around the park= 4p (if distance around the park is p miles)
- 2.4 miles back from the park.
Total Distance this week =2.4+4p+2.4
Since his distance this week is going to be greater than the total distance covered last week (26.1 miles), we then have:
Total Distance covered this week > Total Distance Last week
Jason should use the greater than inequality sign.
