Fatore 9𝑎2 − 4𝑏2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)\] put \(x=3a\) since \((3a)^2=9a^2\) and put \(y=2b\) for a similar reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in english (math english) this is called "the difference of two squares"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me know what you get and i will check it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3a2 - 2b2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i think i have confused you lets start again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factor means write as a product, like \(33=3\times 11\) or \[x^2+2x=x(x+2)\] your job is to factor \[9a^2-4b^2\] so your answer should look like \[(\text{something})(\text{something else})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the difference of two squares \[x^2-y^2\] you factor as \[x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)\] the right side of the equal sign is the "factored form"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have \[9a^2-4b^2\] and this looks a lot like \(x^2-y^2\) where \(x=3a,y=2b\) so you factor it as \[9a^2-4b^2=(3a+2b)(3a-2b)\] and that is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope that made it somewhat more clear, if you have a question let me know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how i find xy know that 𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 67 e (𝑥 + 𝑦)2 = 185.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need find X and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think there might be some sort of typo here you want \(xy\) and you know \((x+y)^2=185\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see, and you know \(x^2+y^2=67\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go it lets go slow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2\] or \[(x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know \((x+y)^2=185\) and \(x^2+y^2=67\) so we substitute \[\large \overbrace{185}^{(x+y)^2}=\overbrace{67}^{x^2+y^2}+2xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then we can solve for \(xy\) \[185=67+2xy\\ 118=2xy\\ 59=xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thanks!

Let A = {X and Z | -40 <x <10} and B is a subset of Z such that the largest integer that B belongs is 5 and x, then x belongs to B - 1 also belongs to B.
