You can simply expand each product and see whether it gives you a difference of squares.


•  \mathsf{(-7x+4)\cdot (-7x+4)}

That's actually  \mathsf{(-7x+4)^2:}

     \mathsf{(-7x+4)^2}\\\\ \mathsf{=(-7x+4)\cdot (-7x+4)}\\\\ \mathsf{=(-7x+4)\cdot (-7x)+(-7x+4)\cdot 4}\\\\ \mathsf{=49x^2-28x-28x+16}

     \mathsf{=49x^2-56x+16}        <span>✖

which is not a difference of squares.

</span>————<span>—

</span>•  \mathsf{(-7x+4)\cdot (4-7x)}

     \mathsf{=(-7x+4)\cdot 4-(-7x+4)\cdot 7x}\\\\ \mathsf{=-28x+16-(-49x^2+28x)}\\\\ \mathsf{=-28x+16+49x^2-28x}

     \mathsf{=49x^2-56x+16}        ✖

which is not a difference of squares.

—————

•  \mathsf{(-7x+4)\cdot (-7x-4)}

     \mathsf{=(-7x+4)\cdot (-7x)-(-7x+4)\cdot 4}\\\\ \mathsf{=49x^2-28x-(-28x+16)}\\\\ \mathsf{=49x^2-\diagup\!\!\!\!\! 28x+\diagup\!\!\!\!\! 28x-16}\\\\ \mathsf{=49x^2-16}

     \mathsf{=(7x)^2-4^2}        <span>✔

That is a difference of two squares.

</span>————<span>—

</span>•  \mathsf{(-7x+4)\cdot (7x-4)}

     \mathsf{=(-7x+4)\cdot 7x-(-7x+4)\cdot 4)}\\\\ \mathsf{=-49x^2+28x-(-28x+16)}\\\\ \mathsf{=-49x^2+28x+28x-16}

     \mathsf{=-49x^2+56x-16}        <span>✖

Only the  third option  will result in a difference of squares.


Answer:  (− 7x + 4) · (− 7x − 4).

Answer:

The expression which will result in difference of two squares is:

(–7x + 4)·(–7x – 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula of the type:

(a-b).(a+b)=a^2-b^2

i.e. it is a difference of two square quantities. (a^2 and b^2)

Hence the option which satisfies the following expression is:

(-7x + 4)·(-7x-4)

since,

here a=-7x and b=4 and

(-7x+4).(-7x-4)=(-7x)^2-(4)^2=(7x)^2-4^2

so the expression is a difference of two square quantities:

(7x)^2 and 4^2

Hence, the correct answer is:

(-7x + 4)·(-7x-4)

A sample survey interviews SRSs of 500 female college students and 550 male college students. Researchers want to determine whet
stira [4]

Answer:

Option (d) and (e)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample survey interviews SRS of 500 female college students and 550 male college students. And Researchers want to determine whether there is a difference in the proportion of male and female college students who worked for pay last summer.

In all, 410 of the females and 484 of the males say they worked for pay last summer.

From this, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1 = p_2 {means proportion of male and female college students who worked for pay last summer are same}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_1 : p_1\neq p_2 {means there is a difference in the proportion of male and female college students who worked for pay last summer}

Now, since we know that results were statistically significant at the 1% level.

So, if p-value is less than the significance level ⇒ we will reject H_0

     if p-value is more than the significance level ⇒ we will not reject H_0

From the options given it is sure that P-value is less than 1%,i.e.;

<em>P-value is less than the significance level, so we will reject null hypothesis and conclude that there is convincing evidence that the proportion of all male college students in the study who worked for pay last summer is different from the proportion of all female college students in the study who worked for pay last summer. </em>

Also, option (d) and (e) are same in my opinion.

Convert the credit card rate to the APR. Ohio, 0.02192% daily rate. Please round your answer to the nearest percent. (zero decim
kogti [31]

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

APR means annual percentage rate.

To convert the daily rate to an APR, multiply the daily rate by the number of days in a year

365 days = 1 year

0.02192% x 365 = 8.0008%

To round off to the nearest percent, look at the first number after the decimal, if it is less than 5, add zero to the units term, If it is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the units term.

The tenth digit is 0, so the number would be rounded off to 8%

Nesterboy [21]
Multiply the two probabilities together.
Probability of spinning orange: 2/6 or 1/3
Probability of spinning brown: 3/6 or 1/2.

1/3 * 1/2= 1/6
1/2 * 1/2= 1/4

Final answers: For q1= 1/6; For q2= 1/4
