Plz determine whether the polynomial is a difference of squares and if it is, factor it. y2 – 196 is a difference of squares: (y + 14)2 is a difference of squares: (y – 14)2 is a difference of squares: (y + 14)(y – 14) is not a difference of squares
The first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x by completing the square are shown. 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x 9x2 + 54x = 22 9(x2 + 6x) = 22 which is the best step to do next to solve the equation by completing the square? 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 25 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 49 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 31 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 103
