Given expression is x² - 121

This is called Difference of Squared terms, we have a formula that is given as :-

a² - b² = (a - b) · (a + b)

Now using the above formula in the given expression, we get :-

x² - 121

x² - (11)²

here a = x and b = 11

x² - (11)² = (x - 11) · (x + 11)

but it says that student gave the answer as (x - 11) · (x - 11).

So, student's answer should be (x - 11) · (x + 11) instead of product of two (x - 11) terms.

8(5-32) equal to and explain <br> please help
Gre4nikov [31]
You would use order of operations: PEMDAS
P(parenthesis) E(exponents) MD(multiplication/division) AS(addition/subtraction)
with MD and AS order doesnt matter.
8(5-32) you would start with inside the Parenthesis for "P" so (5-32)=(-27)
next you would go to the E but because you dont have an exponent you go to the next step with is the "MD" you have multiplication so next would be 8(-27) and 8 multiplied by -27 is: 8(-27)= -216
