Answer:

(x + y)(x - y) (x + 2)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2 y^2 + x^4 + 4y^2 - 4x^2

Lets rearrange the terms

x^4 -x^2 y^2 - 4x^2 + 4y^2

Then we group first two terms and last two terms

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

Factor out each group

x^2(x^2 - y^2) - 4 (x^2 - y^2)

(x^2 - y^2)(x^2 - 4)

Apply formula a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

(x + y)(x - y) (x + 2)(x - 2)

<span>-x^2 y^2 + x^4 + 4y^2 - 4x^2
= </span>x^4 -x^2 y^2 - 4x^2 + 4y^2<span>
= x^2 (x^2 - y^2) - 4 (x^2 - y^2)
= (x^2 - y^2)(x^2 - 4)
= (x + y)(x - y) (x + 2)(x - 2) (....using a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b) )

hope it helps</span>

False.  In order to have an inverse, your function must pass the horizontal line test.  The graph fails the test.

On a certain hot summer day, 673 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.75 for children and 2.00 for adult
amid [387]

Answer:

Number of children = 386

Number of adults = 287

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of children

y = number of adults

x + y = 673 (1)

1.75x + 2y = 1249.50 (2)

From (1)

x = 673 - y

Substitute x = 673 - y into (2)

1.75x + 2y = 1249.50

1.75(673 - y) + 2y = 1249.50

1177.75 - 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50

- 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50 - 1177.75

0.25y = 71.75

y = 71.75/0.25

y = 287

Substitute y = 287 into (1)

x + y = 673

x + 287 = 673

x = 673 - 287

x = 386

Number of children = 386

Number of adults = 287
