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{=-49x^2+56x-16}        <span>✖

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)

Rick and Sara have two children, Marcos and Jade. Use the clues to determine their ages. Rick is 4 years younger than Sara. Marc
Morgarella [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of rick = x

age of sara = y

age of marcos = a

age of jade = b

Rick is 4 years younger than Sara.

x = y - 4

Marcos is 3 years older than Jade.

a = b + 3

Rick's age is twice the age of Marcos and Jade's ages combined.

x = 2(a+b)

The youngest is 9 years old.

The youngest is jade because rick and sara are the parents and marcos is older than she is.

b = 9

How old is each??

a = b + 3

a = 9 + 3 = 12

Marcos is 12 years old

x = 2(a+b)

x = 2 (12 + 9)

x = 2 (21) = 42

Rick is 42 years old

x = y - 4

42 = y - 4

y = 42 + 4 = 46

Sara is 46 years old

Cherie is jogging around a circular track. She
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Measure of minor angle JOG is 95.5^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a circular track of radius 120 yards. Assume that Cherie starts from point J and runs 200 yards up to point G.  

\therefore m JG = 200 yards, JO=120 yards.  

Now the measure of minor arc is same as measure of central angle. Therefore minor angle is the central angle \angle JOG = \theta.

To calculate the central angle, use the arc length formula as follows.  

Arc\:Length\left(s\right) = r\:\theta  

Where \theta is measured in radian.

Substituting the value,

200=120\:\theta  

Dividing both side by 120,

\dfrac{200}{120}=\theta  

Reducing the fraction into lowest form by dividing numerator and denominator by 40.

\therefore \dfrac{5}{3}=\theta  

Therefore value of central angle is \angle JOG = \theta=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}, since angle is in radian

Now convert radian into degree by using following formula,

1^{c}=\left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}

So multiplying \theta with \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ} to convert it into degree.

\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)^{c}=\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\right)^{\circ}

Simplifying,

\therefore \theta = 95.49^{circ}

So to nearest tenth, \angle JOG=95.5^{circ}
