Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.1      Factoring:  x4 - 81  

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 81 is the square of 9

Check :  x4  is the square of  x2  

Factorization is :       (x2 + 9)  •  (x2 - 9)  

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

1.2    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = x2 + 9

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which   F(x)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  9.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,3 ,9

Let us test

     -3       1        -3.00        18.00      

     -9       1        -9.00        90.00

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.3      Factoring:  x2 - 9  

Check : 9 is the square of 3

Check :  x2  is the square of  x1  

Factorization is :       (x + 3)  •  (x - 3)  

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.4      Factoring:  x2 - 9  

Check : 9 is the square of 3

Check :  x2  is the square of  x1  

Factorization is :       (x + 3)  •  (x - 3)  

Canceling Out :

1.5    Cancel out  (x + 3)  which appears on both sides of the fraction line.

Canceling Out :

1.6    Cancel out  (x - 3)  which appears on both sides of the fraction line.

Final result :

 x2 + 9

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
