Hello, we need to see it as a difference of two squares as we know that for all a and b real numbers

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

So, here

$9x^2-4=(3x)^2-2^2=(3x-2)(3x+2)$

Voila !

Thank you

B is the midpoint of AC. If AB= X +5 and BC = 2X -11, find the measure of AB

Murljashka [212]

First, you know that B is the mid point, meaning AB is equal to BC. Therefore, you can set up the equation: x+5=2x-11. Then, you solve for x. Once you are done solving, you should get 16. Hope this helps!

Answer:

$5^{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say there's a number 'x' and there's an expression $(x^a)^b$ where 'a' & 'b' are also numbers , the simplified form of the expression is $x^{a \times b}$ .

So ,

$(5^4)^3 = 5^{4 \times 3} = 5^{12}$
