\[16x ^{2}-121y ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not factorable??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try using difference of two squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you find anything that goes into 121?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll give you a hint:16x^2=(4x)^2 and 121y^2=(11y)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I was looking for a number that goes into both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they don't have a common divisor so you must lok for another rule \[a^{2}-b^{2}=(a-b)(a+b)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(4x-11y)(4x+11y)??\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you I was lost
