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.

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


Answer:  (− 7x + 4) · (− 7x − 4).


I hope this helps. =)

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)

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELp VERY URGENT The graph of F(x), shown below, resembles the graph of G(x) = x^2, but it has been stretched so
netineya [11]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Function 'g' is,

g(x) = x²

Since, leading coefficient of this function is positive, parabola is opening upwards.

From the graph attached,

Function 'f' is opening upwards leading coefficient of the function will be positive.

Since, the graph of function 'f' is vertically stretched, equation will be in the form of f(x) = kx²

Here, k > 1

Since, function 'f' is formed by shifting the graph of function 'g' by 1 unit upwards,

f(x) = g(x) + 1

Combining all these properties, equation of the function 'f' should be,

f(x) = 4x² + 1

Option B will be the correct option.

A student says that the measures of coterminal angles are never opposites of each other. Is the student correct?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is wrong. Two angles are coterminal if and only if the difference between their measures is a multiple of 360°.

The difference between the angles 180° and –180° is 360°, and they are coterminal. Therefore the student is WRONG.
