Answer :(x+4)(x-4) ,when factored out, is x^2-4x+4x-16.

combine like terms and the -4x and 4x cancel leaving you your original problem x^2-16.

Here's the way I like to think through these factoring problems involving the difference of two squares. First, make sure dealing with a perfect square minus a perfect square. In this case we are.

So this binomial will factor as the product of two binomials.

The first binomial will have a + in the middle and the second binomial will have a - in the middle. In the first position, we will have the factors of x² that are the same so x time x. In the second position will be the factors of 16 that are the same, 12 times 12.

(x + 4)(x - 4) is your answer, a factored version of x² - 16.

Find the measure of the missing angles. 62° b\co

tiny-mole [99]

The measures of angles B and C are 118° and 62°, respectively.

<h3>What are the measures of two missing angles generated by the intersection of two lines?</h3>

A system of three angles is generated by two lines intersecting each other. In accordance with Euclidean geometry, angle C is opposite to the angle with measure 62° and angle B is supplementary to the same angle.

When two angles are opposite, then both have the same measure, and when two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures equals 180°. Therefore, the measures of angles B and C are 118° and 62°, respectively.
