<span>a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.
In order to use the </span><span>'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.
</span><span>x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.
√x^2 = x
√4 = 2
Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).
</span>
<span>(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)
Our answer is final </span><span>(x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.
Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.</span>

Answer:
14.9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find c using the Law of Sines, you must know angle C. That is found from ...
C = 180° -A -B = 180° -150° -12° = 18°
Then the law of sines tells you ...
c/sin(C) = b/sin(B)
c = b·sin(C)/sin(B) = (10 cm)·sin(18°)/sin(12°)
c ≈ 14.9 cm
Answer:
<em>$180.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets find the <em>interest rate.</em>
<em>6.1 ÷ 100 = 0.061</em>
<em>0.061 x $200 = 12.2</em>
based on the calculations, <em>12.2</em> is our interest rate <em>in a year</em>. Now lets find the interest rate in <em>15 years</em>.
<em>12.2 x 15 = $183 </em>
So <em>$183</em> is our<em> precise</em> interest rate in <em>15 years</em>, but lets<em> round the interest rate to the nearest 10 dollars.</em> Therefore, <em>$180 is our answer.</em>
(5.6)(1.8) the answer is 10.08
It is an irrational number
