X^2 = x + 72 you have a quadratic.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)*(x + 8) = 0
x = 9 or x = - 8

We have to check this one. One of the answers could be wrong.
9^2 = 9 + 72
81 = 81 This one checks out and is OK.

(-8)^2 = -8 + 72
64 = - 8 + 72 
64 = 64.
Both answers work.

Answer:

  A: (3x +4)

  B: (4x +5y) × (4x -5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>:

Since we know the trinomial is a perfect square, we know the terms of each binomial factor are the square roots of the first and last terms of the trinomial.

  9x² +24x +16 = (√(9x²) +√16)² = (3x +4)²

The side of the square is 3x+4.

__

<u>Part B</u>:

The difference of squares is factored like this:

  a²-b² = (a +b)(a -b)

The given area expression is the difference of squares with ...

  a = 4x, b = 5y

so, the factorization is ...

  16x² -25y² = (4x +5y)(4x -5y)

The dimensions of the rectangle are (4x+5y) by (4x-5y).
