<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>

The perimeter of the semicircle is 25.71 cm. Calculate the value of radius x. Take pi to be 3.142
yan [13]

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of semicircle =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 2\pi \: x +2x\\ 25.71 = 3.14 2\times x+ 2x\\ 25.71 = 5.14 2 x\\ x =  \frac{25.71}{5.142}  \\ x = 5  \: cm

Find three consecutive even integers if three times the first integer is two times the third.​
drek231 [11]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the three consecutive even integers are -8, -6 and -4.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the three consecutive even integers are represented by:

n, n + 2, n + 4

The first integer is two times the third, hence:

n = 2(n + 4)

2n + 8 = n

n = -8

Thus:

n = -8

n + 2 = -8 + 2 = -6

n + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4

The integers are -8, -6 and -4.
