Question

11) the difference between the product of 4 and a number and the square of the number

Answer 1

Answer:

$= 4x-x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x;

The product of 4 and the number will be;

$= 4 * x\\\\= 4x$

The the square of the number is given as;

$= x^2$

Taking the difference of both expressions above;

$= 4x-x^2$

Factor out the common term:

$= x(4-x)$

Hence the difference between the product of 4 and a  number and the square of the number is $= 4x-x^2$
