\[=4x(4x+5y)+3y(4x+5y)\]\[=(4x+3y)(4x+5y)\]

Does your teacher expect you to eyeball solutions to these?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no we have to show work,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that was the last one on that lesson. Now its - Diffrence of Squares and Perfect Square trinomials
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How many questions are there?

I mightn't be around for much longer. Do you want me to see if there's someone else that can help?

16a^2- 25b^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the book says the answer is " no" how is that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you can write it like this too :\[4^2a^2 -5^2b^2\]
all you have to do is simplify it into 2 brackets, give it a try :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Post your assignment questions at www.aceyourcollegeclasses.com you can earn money answering questions there too!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you find the square of the 16 and 25

No...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why not?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait, isn't the question = factor?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You have something in the form,\[a^2-b^2\]These things are called 'difference of two squares' and it factors as\[a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
factor right?

it says for each binomial is the binomial a diffrence of squares
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[16a^2-25b^2=(4a)^2-(5b)^2=(4a-5b)(4a+5b)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol, that's what I've meant loki!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I wanted him to give it a try :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops..sorry :(

it's alright :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dina did you understand the general concept of how to solve the problem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its a NO because one is plus and one is minus?!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Your answer is YES
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If it factors like it factored above, it is a difference of two squares, so your answer would be YES.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
uhhh ok im getting confused lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try the general formula loki showed you which is :
(a-b)(a+b) use the FOIL method to check whether it's equal to :
\[a^2-b^2\]
as long as you understand the general concept of this question, you'll be able to proceed on your own , okay? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Exactly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
clear dina? ^_^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think so

all of the questions are the same, all you have to do is write them in the form of \[a^2-b^2\]
and you\'ll be fine ^_^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then apply the rule which is (a-b)(a+b) and use the FOIL to check your answer, and you'll ace it ! :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks guys!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
np ^_^, did you undestand?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you get it then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
good!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
awesome :) , just practice one to check your understanding
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and you'll get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
loki, lemmy get you up top real quick pleasee

ok...16a^2 - 12b^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(4 + a)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the first part?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you can take 4 as a common factor , so you'll have:\[4(4a^2-3b^2) = 4(2a -b)(2a+3b)\]
correct me if I'm wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is not correct

First of all he has b^3 and second of all you can't write 3 as a perfect square.
All you can do is take out the 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol, I'm rushing can you take the lead blexting>?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sure...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh right! i forgot abt b^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry

dina are just trying to factor?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answers either yes or no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answers either yes or no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to "is it a perfect square" is that the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This last one was NOT a perfect square.
