Answer:

Explanation:

This is a difference of squares.

√x^2 - √49 is the basic formula for factoring a difference of squares. The idea is that the middle term has been cancelled out.

√x^2 = x

√49 = 7

(x - 7)(x + 7) is the way this factors.

(x - 7)(x + 7)

===========

(x + 7)

The (x +7) in the numerator cancels with the (x + 7) in the denominator.

The answer is (x - 7)

====================================================

She might have wanted you to do it like this.

(x + 7) || x^2 + 0x - 49 || x - 7

x^2 + 7x ........... Subtract

==========

-7x - 49

-7x - 49 ...... Subtract.

=============

0

Or she might have seen you do this

x^2 - 49 x^2 49

======= = === - =====

x + 7 x 7

Every math teacher freaks when they see this. I hope I didn't put ideas in your head.

But if you got the answer by doing what I did, you got it right.
