Answer:
(x - 4)×(x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 4)×(x + 4) = x^2 - 16
First we need to multiply inside the parenthesis one by one
Multiply x with (x + 4) and the result will be x^2 + 4x
Then multiply -4 with (x + 4) and result will be -4x - 16 we then add both of the result together by adding like terms
x^2 + 4x - 4x - 16 = x^2 - 16 (-4x eliminated 4x) therefore the answer to factorised form of x^2 - 16 is (x - 4)×(x + 4)
Answer:
This is actually not an identity.
