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>✖

</span>which is not a difference of squares.

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)

Which of the following functions gives the length of the base edge, a(v), of a right square pyramid that is 8 inches tall as a f
Reil [10]

Answer:

\large\boxed{a(V)=\sqrt{\dfrac{3V}{8}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a square pyramid:

V=\dfrac{1}{3}a^2h

a - base edge

h - height of a pyramid

We have H = 8in.

Substitute and solve for a:

\dfrac{1}{3}a^2(8)=V\\\\\dfrac{8}{3}a^2=V\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot\dfrac{8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}a^2=\dfrac{3}{8}V\\\\a^2=\dfrac{3V}{8}\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{\dfrac{3V}{8}}

A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour. (a) Find a function N that models the number of bact
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: a) N(t)=1500(2)^t

b) 25165824000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for growth is given by :-

y= ab^t , where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.

Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.

i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2

Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :

N(t)=1500(2)^t

To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get

N(24)=1500(2)^{24}\\\\=1500(16777216)=25165824000

Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.

Liam is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $5 and each ride costs $3.50. How much would Liam have to
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

$43

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find how much he is paying for his games and how much he is paying for his rides, then add them together.

5(3) = $15 (games)

8(3.5) = $28 (rides)

28+15 = 43
