<span>a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.

In order to use the </span><span>'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.

</span><span>x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.

√x^2 = x
√4 = 2

Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).
</span>
<span>(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)

Our answer is final </span><span>(x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.

Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.</span>

Papessa [141]

Answer:

<h2>3,654 different ways.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 30 students in a class with natasha in the class and natasha is to select four leaders in the class of which she is already part of the selection, this means there are 3 more leaders needed to be selected among the remaining 29 students (natasha being an exception).

Using the combination formula since we are selecting and combination has to do with selection, If r object are to selected from n pool of objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

Sinca natasha is to select 3 more leaders from the remaining 29students, this can be done in 29C3 number of ways.

29C3 = 29!/(29-3)!3!

29C3 = 29!/(26!)!3!

29C3 = 29*28*27*26!/26!3*2

29C3 = 29*28*27/6

29C3 = 3,654 different ways.

This means that there are 3,654 different ways to select the 4 leaders so that natasha is one of the leaders
