a. By the product rule,


b. By the same rule,


and


c. You might recognize the coefficients as those that appear in the expansion of
:
1, 1
1, 2, 1
1, 3, 3, 1
1, 4, 6, 4, 1
and so on; the general pattern (known as the general Leibniz rule) is

<h3>
Answer: a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)</h3>
The order of the factors does not matter.
So (a-b)(a+b) is the same as (a+b)(a-b)
This is known as the difference of squares factoring rule.
You can FOIL out (a-b)(a+b) and you'd get a^2+ab-ab-b^2. Note how the ab terms cancel leaving us with a^2-b^2. This confirms we have the correct factorization.
It is gonna be X= - 60/19
