Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call y the number of patients treated each week
Let's call x the week number.
If the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear then the equation that models this situation will have the following form:

Where m is the slope of the equation and b is the intercept with the x-axis.
If we know two points on the line then we can find the values of m and b.
We know that During week 5 of flu season, the clinic saw 90 patients, then we have the point:
(5, 90)
We know that In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 60 patients, then we have the point:
(10, 60).
Then we can find m and b using the followings formulas:
and 
In this case:
and 
Then:


And


Finally the function that shows the number of patients seen each week at the clinic is:

Answer: (6a + 5b) • (6a - 5b)
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "b2" was replaced by "b^2". 1 more similar replacement(s).
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(36 • (a2)) - 52b2
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(22•32a2) - 52b2
Step 3 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
3.1 Factoring: 36a2-25b2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 36 is the square of 6
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (6a + 5b) • (6a - 5b)
Final result :
(6a + 5b) • (6a - 5b)

Combine like terms (6x and 3x, 2 and 7)
The second matrix
represents the triangle dilated by a scale factor of 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the scale factor for any dilation, we divide the coordinates after dilation by the same coordinated before dilation.
The coordinates of a vertice are represented in the column of the matrix. Since there are three vertices, there are 2 rows with 3 columns. The order of the matrices is 2 × 3.
Step 2:
If we form a matrix with the vertices (-2,0), (1,5), and (4,-8), we get
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&1&4\\0&5&-8\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%261%264%5C%5C0%265%26-8%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The scale factor is 3, so if we multiply the above matrix with 3 throughout, we will get the matrix that represents the vertices of the triangle after dilation.
Step 3:
The matrix that represents the triangle after dilation is given by
![3\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&1&4\\0&5&-8\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3(-2)&3(1)&3(4)\\3(0)&3(5)&3(-8)\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&3&12\\0&15&-24\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%261%264%5C%5C0%265%26-8%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D3%28-2%29%263%281%29%263%284%29%5C%5C3%280%29%263%285%29%263%28-8%29%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-6%263%2612%5C%5C0%2615%26-24%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This is the second option.
(a-b)(a+b) because when you reverse the sum you do axa and ax-b xx
