A²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)
4x² - 25= (2x)²- 5² =(2x-5)(2x+5)
You do not have this choice, so the answer is D.None of the above.
Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.
The x-intercepts are: -0.5 and 2.
12 * 100 = 1200/96 = 12.5
Answer = 12.5%
You mulitply 12 by a hunndred, since a percent means "out of a hundred." Then, you divide that, by 96, since, you want to find the percent out of 96.
