Answer:
x2 • (x2 - 32772)
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: ((x4) - 22x2) - 32768x2
step 2: Pull out like factors :
x4 - 32772x2 = x2 • (x2 - 32772)
Factoring: x2 - 32772
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 32772 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.

Answer:
B. -∞
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a vertical asymptote at x=2. Left of that line, the denominator is negative. As x approaches 2 from the left, the function approaches negative infinity.
Remark
A kite is constructed such that AB = BC and AD = DC. AB = sqrt( (1/2)AC + 18^2) see diagram. AD = sqrt(24^2 + 32^2)
Step One
Solve for AB
1/2 AC = 24 (AC is given as 48)
18 is a given length
AB = sqrt(24^2 + 18^2) = sqrt(576 + 324) = sqrt(900) = 30
Step Two
Find the length of AD
AD = sqrt(32^2 + 24^2) = sqrt(1024 + 576) = sqrt(1600) = 40
Step Three
Find the Perimeter.
P = 2 * 30 + 2*40 = 60 + 80 = 140
P = 140 <<<<< Answer
