Answer:

Option B, Spencer did not factor the polynomial completely; 16x^2−1 can be factored over the integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Factor

256x^4y^2−y^2

y^2(256x^4 - 1)

y^2(16x^2 - 1)(16x^2 + 1)

y^2(4x + 1)(4x - 1)(16x^2 + 1)

Answer: Option B, Spencer did not factor the polynomial completely; 16x^2−1 can be factored over the integers.

Answer:

-13/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Straightforward evaluation of the expression at x=1 gives (1 -1)/(1 -1) = 0/0, an indeterminate form. So, L'Hopital's rule applies. The ratio of derivatives is ...

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 1}\dfrac{n}{d}=\dfrac{n'}{d'}=\left.\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3\sqrt[3]{4x-3}}-\dfrac{7}{2\sqrt{7x-6}}}{\dfrac{5}{2\sqrt{5x-4}}-\dfrac{2}{3\sqrt[3]{2x-1}}}\right|_{x=1}=\dfrac{4/3-7/2}{5/2-2/3}=\dfrac{8-21}{15-4}\\\\=\boxed{-\dfrac{13}{11}}$
