Answer:
Option B, Spencer did not factor the polynomial completely; 16x^2−1 can be factored over the integers.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Factor</u>
256x^4y^2−y^2
y^2(256x^4 - 1)
y^2(16x^2 - 1)(16x^2 + 1)
<em>y^2(</em><em>4x + 1)(4x - 1</em><em>)(16x^2 + 1)</em>

Answer: Option B, Spencer did not factor the polynomial completely; 16x^2−1 can be factored over the integers.
Answer:
AB = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&4&6\\-6&3&5\\5&0&-4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-3%264%266%5C%5C-6%263%265%5C%5C5%260%26-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Each column of AB is written as a linear combination of columns of Matrix A in the explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&2&1\\-3&1&1\\2&0&-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%262%261%5C%5C-3%261%261%5C%5C2%260%26-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
B= ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-1&0\\1&2&1\\-1&-2&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%26-1%260%5C%5C1%262%261%5C%5C-1%26-2%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
We need to write each column of AB as a linear combination of the columns of A so we will multiply each column of A with each column element of B to get the column of AB. So,
AB Column 1 = 2 * ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2\\-3\\2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%5C%5C-3%5C%5C2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
+ 1 ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\1\\0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%5C%5C1%5C%5C0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
+ (-1) ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\\-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%5C%5C1%5C%5C-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
= ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3\\-6\\5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-3%5C%5C-6%5C%5C5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
AB Column 2 = (-1) + 2 + (-2) = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\3\\0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D4%5C%5C3%5C%5C0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
AB Column 3 = (0) + (1) + 4 = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6\\5\\-4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D6%5C%5C5%5C%5C-4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Finally, we can combine all three columns of AB to form the 3x3 matrix AB.
AB =
let the 2 integers be x and x + 2.
so we have the equation:-
3(x + 2) = x - 10
3x + 6 = x - 10
2x = -16
x = -8
the integers are -8 and -6 answer
The simplest ratio is 1/3. Equivalent ratios would be 3/9 and 5/15.
