Answer:
2nd - (w - 5)(w + 5)
4th - (-4v - 9)(-4v + 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The first option shows an expression multiplied by its opposite(x -1), so therefore, it does not show the difference of squares
2. The second option does show the difference of squares because it is in the form (a + b)(a - b)
3. The third option is just a square because the same expression is multiplied by itself.
4. The fourth option is the difference of squares because it is in the form (a + b)(a - b). a equals -4v and b equals 9 in this case.
5. The fifth option is not the difference of squares. No term in common in both expressions
6. The sixth option is just a square because the same expression is multiplied by itself.
In all, there are two options that are the difference of squares, the 2nd and 4th.

<u>Question:</u>
Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0
<u>Answer:</u>
The number of real solutions for the equation is zero
<u>Solution:</u>
For a Quadratic Equation of form : ---- eqn 1
The solution is
Now , the given Quadratic Equation is ---- eqn 2
On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get
a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7
In , is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation
Its value determines the nature of roots
Now, here are the rules with discriminants:
1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation
2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation
3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation
Now let solve for given equation
Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.
