difference of squares means that both the terms are square terms. (also there must be a - symbol)
for example
y^2 - 4
square root of y^2 is y
square root of 4 is +2 as well as -2
so you would factorise it like this:
(y+2)(y-2)
1. y^4 has a square root of y^2 as y^2 × y^2 is y^4.
<em>h</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>e</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>,</em><em> </em>-2 doesnt have a whole number square root so it is not a difference of squares.
2. 25 has a square root of 5. m^2 has a square root of m. n^4 has a square root of n^2. so this 25m^2n^4 is a square term.
1 has a square root of +1 and -1.
therefore, this one is a difference of squares. <u>(</u><u>5</u><u>m</u><u>n</u><u>^</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>5</u><u>mn^2</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>)</u>
3. p^8 has a square root of p^4. q^4 has a square root of +q^2 and -q^2)
so it is a difference of squares. <u>(</u><u>p</u><u>^</u><u>4</u><u>+</u><u>q</u><u>^</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u>(</u><u>p</u><u>^</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>q</u><u>^</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>
4. 16x^2 is a square term as irs square root is 4x.
<em>h</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>e</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>,</em><em> </em>24 is not a square term.
therefore, it is not a difference of squares.
Answer:
Statements 3, 4 and 5 are true.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x + 4
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [ -(-8) +/- √((-8)^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2
= (8 +/- √(64 - 16)) / 2
= 4 +/- √48 / 2
= 4 +/- 4√3/2
= 4 +/- 2√3.
So the third statement is true.
Converting to vertex form:
x^2 - 8x + 4
= (x - 4)^2 - 16 + 4
= (x - 4)^2 -12
So the extreme value is at (4, -12)
So the fourth statement is true.
The coefficient of the term in x^2 is 1 (positive) so the graph has a minimum.
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be the very top of the division problem, so for example, if we take. a look at the lower image below, we see that the number 6 is the number that would be the (first) number that would be the quotient.
Answer:
Very top, (e.g)<em> "the number 6"</em>
Answer:
B) 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the number is shown below:
Since the number 1 would be raised to any exponent so it always remains be 1
Like
= 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1
= 1
Therefore the option B is correct
