Question

What is the factorization of the expression below?

Answer 1

Answer:

Well factorizing 16x^2-49

You can use the difference of squares

Which is when theirs 2 perfect sqaures and it’s a subtraction problem.

So 16x^2 - 49

the formula is

a^2-b^2= (a+b) (a-b)

16x^2 - 7^2 = (a+b) (a-b)

SO plug it in

(4x+7) (4x-7)

Thats simplified to the max

So your answer would be (c)

Answer 2

16x² - 49

= (4x)² - 7²

Identity =》 a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b)

(4x)² - 7²

= (4x + 7) (4x - 7) [3rd option]
