Question

Write as a product: 16−(3−4b)^2

If you help and get it right, I'll try to give you an extra ten points.

Answer 1

(1+4b)(7-4b)

Explanation:

16−(3−4b)^2

Remove the difference of squares, then combine whatever like terms are left:

you should get -(4 - 3 + 4b) (4 + 3 - 4b)

simplify = (1+4b)(7-4b)

Answer 2

Explanation:

16 = 4^2 What you get is then a difference of squares.

(4 - (3-4b)) * (4 + (3 - 4b)) Remove the brackets.

(4 - 3 + 4b) * (4 + 3 - 4b) Combine like terms.

(1 + 4b)(7 - 4b)
