So we notice that is the special factorization known as 'the difference of two perfect squares'
exg
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b) so
x^4=(x^2)^2 and 1=1^2 so
(x^2)^2-(1)^2=(x^2-1)(x^2+1)

Use the difference of squares factorization - that for any numbers a and b, (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2.

We have:

(x^2+1)(x^2-1)=x^4-1

In addition:

(x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1, so we have:

(x^2+1)(x+1)(x-1)

As our complete factorization.

1. Work out the speed of a car travelling:
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

10m/s,15m/s,20m/s,5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance / time

a) distance = 100m , time = 10s

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 100m/10s

Speed = 10m/s

b) distance = 300m , time = 20s

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 300m/20s

Speed = 15m/s

c) distance = 700m , time = 35s

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 700m/35s

Speed = 20m/s

d) distance = 1000m , time = 200s

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 1000m/200s

Speed = 5m/s

VikaD [51]
If each person is painting their own wall that means that it takes each person 41 minutes to paint their wall. That means it would take 41 minutes for 14 people to paint 14 walls.

The curve y = ax^2 + bx + c passes through the point (2, 32) and is tangent to the line y = 4x at the origin. Find the values of
Arada [10]
We are given the general formula of the curve of y = ax2 + bx + c. The tangen line at the origin is y = 4x. This eliminates the second term in which the derivative should be reflected as a constant. Since when the derivative of the first term is 4x, then a should be 2. From the points, c should be equal to 24.
