Question:

Factor $64-x^2$

(8 - x)(8 - x)

(8 + x) (8 - x)

(X + 8)(x-8)

Answer:

Option B: $(8+x)(8-x)$ is the factor

Explanation:

Given that the expression is $64-x^2$

We need to find the factor of the given expression.

Let us rewrite the expression as $8^2-x^{2}$

Since the expression is of the form $a^2-b^2$ , let us use the identity $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

where a = 8 and b = x

Substituting the values in the identity, then the expression can be written as

$8^2-x^{2}=(8+x)(8-x)$

Thus, the factor of the expression is $(8+x)(8-x)$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

The equation of the line with slope = 3, going through point (2, 4) is:

$(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{4}=\stackrel{m}{-3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-4=-3x+6\implies y=-3x+10$
