Answer 6

1 is the factor of every expression, so we need not mention the '1' there.
also, x^2-49 was still unfactorized there, right ?

Answer 7

so, it would be right?

Answer 8

for \(a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\)
so for
\(x^2-7^2= (x+7)(x-7)\)

Answer 9

so, it would not be right?

Answer 10

so, 1(x^2-49) is not right
and (x+7)(x-7) is correct

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

so, how would you do, x^2-16=4x

Answer 13

you want to solve that ?
you know the quadratic formula ?

Answer 14

quadratic formula

Answer 15

you know what it is ?

Answer 16

yes
