We use the formula a^2 - b^2 = ( a - b )( a + b );
We have a = 5m - 2 and b = 3m - 4;
<span>(5m-2)^2-(3m-4)^2 = (5m - 2 -3m + 4) x (5m-2 + 3m - 4) = (2m + 2)(8m - 6) = 2(m +1) x 2(4m - 3) = 4(m+1)(4m-3);

Ummm search it up on google it should be on there
f(5) means to replace the x in the equation with 5.
f(5) = 8(5) - 3
f(5) = 40 - 3
f(5) = 37
