factor 16x8-y4

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

difference of -3 product of -28 the numbers must be .....four and minus seven

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

and by difference i mean summ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did it go?

OpenStudy (callisto):

\[ x^2-3xy-28y^2 = x^2 + (4xy-7xy)-28y^2 = x(x+4y)-7y(x+4y)=?\] Sorry I made some mistakes on the signs just now :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so \[x^2-3xy-28y^2=(x+4y)(x-7y)=x^2+4xy-7xy-28y^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve it lol

OpenStudy (callisto):

What you need to do it to take out the common factor and group the rest of the terms... Can you try?

OpenStudy (callisto):

The common factor there is (x+4y) ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the final answer (x+4y)(x-7y)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeahs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factor 16x8-y4 please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the answer by 10:30

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[16x^8-y^4\] is a difference of squares \[(4x^4)^2-(y^2)^2\]
