1. (3 + xz)(–3 + xz)
2. (y² – xy)(y² + xy)
3. (64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)
Explanation
The difference of 2 squares is in the form (a+b)(a-c).
(3 + xz)(–3 + xz) = (3 + xz)(xz -3)
= (xz + 3)(xz - 3)
= x²y²-3xy+3xy-9
=x²y² - 3²
(y² – xy)(y² + xy) = y⁴+xy³-xy³-x²y²
= y⁴ - x²y²
(64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)= (64y²+x²)(64y²-x²)
= 4096y⁴-64y²x²+64y²x²-x⁴
= 4096y⁴ - x⁴
Answer:
a) growth
b) $500
c) 6% = 0.06
d) 
e) $595.51
Step-by-step explanation:
<u />
<u>Part (a)</u>
Exponential GROWTH, since interest is applied to the account each year.
<u>Part (b)</u>
Initial amount = $500
<u>Part (c)</u>
Growth factor = 6% = 0.06 (in decimal form)
<u>Part (d)</u>
General form of exponential growth function:

where:
- a = initial amount
- r = rate of growth (in decimal form)
- x = time (in years)
Given:


<u>Part (e)</u>
when x = 3

Let number of miles be x
<span>when is </span>
<span>.5x + 25 = .25x + 30 </span>
<span>times 4 </span>
<span>2x + 100 = x + 120 </span>
<span>x = 20 </span>
