Chapter 0: Problem 47

Factor the difference of two squares. $$16 x^{4}-81$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The factorized form of the expression \(16x^4 - 81\) is \((2x - 3)(2x + 3)(4x^2 + 9)\).

Step by step solution

01

Identifying the components

Identify the squares in the expression. Here, the squares are \(a = 4x^2\) (since \(4x^2 * 4x^2 =16x^4\)) and \(b = 9\) (since \(9 * 9 = 81\)).
02

Factorizing

Factorize the expression \(16x^4 - 81\) with the formula \(a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)\). Here, substitute \(a = 4x^2\) and \(b = 9\) into the formula. You get \((4x^2 - 9)(4x^2 + 9)\).
03

Further factorize

The term \((4x^2 - 9)\) can be further factorized because it's another difference of squares. Here, \(a = 2x\) (since \(2x * 2x =4x^2\)) and \(b = 3\) (since \(3 * 3 = 9\)). Apply the formula to get \((2x - 3)(2x + 3)(4x^2 + 9)\)

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. A model that describes the average cost of tuition and fees at private U.S. colleges for the school year ending x years after 2000 cannot be used to estimate the cost of private education for the school year ending in 2000.

Evaluate each expression. $$ \sqrt[3]{\sqrt[4]{16}+\sqrt{625}} $$

Factor completely. $$(x-5)^{-\frac{1}{2}}(x+5)^{-\frac{1}{2}}-(x+5)^{\frac{1}{2}}(x-5)^{-\frac{3}{2}}$$

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. Some whole numbers are not integers.
