Hopefully this helped! I used the substitution method
7ab a - b
-------------- - --------------
a^2 - b^2 a + b
7ab a - b
= -------------- - --------------
(a-b)(a+b) a + b
7ab (a - b)^2
= -------------- - -----------------------
(a-b)(a+b) (a + b)(a-b)
7ab a^2 - 2ab + b^2
= -------------- - -----------------------
(a-b)(a+b) (a + b)(a-b)
7ab - a^2 + 2ab - b^2
= -----------------------------------
(a-b)(a+b)
- a^2 + 9ab - b^2
= -----------------------------------
(a-b)(a+b)
Answer is A. first one
Answer:
The factors are;
23, -23 , a , b
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to write the factors of the given expression
-23 ab^2
The factors are simply those values or expression that can be divided by the given expressions
We have the factors as follows;
23
-23
a
b
The middle number is 0 and the last is -81Factoring means we want something like(b+_)(b+_)We need two numbers that add together to get and Multiply to get -81which are 9 and -9:<span><span>9+-9 = 0 and </span><span>9*-9 = -81</span></span>
Fill in the blanks in
(b+_)(b+_)
with 9 and -9 to get...<span><span>(<span>b+9</span>)</span><span>(<span>b−9</span>)</span></span>
The answer is : (b+9)(b−9)
