Part 1. Pick a two-digit number greater than 25. Rewrite your two-digit number as a difference of two numbers. Show how to use the identity (x − y)2 = x2 − 2xy + y2 to square your number without using a calculator. Part 2. Choose two values, a and b, each between 8 and 15. Show how to use the identity a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2) to calculate the sum of the cubes of your numbers without using a calculator.

:i need some real : a store sells shirts to the public at one pricing scale and wholesale at another pricing scale. the tables below describe the cost, y, of x shirts. (after tables) how do the slopes of the lines created by each table compare? the slope of the public table is 3/4 of the slope of the wholesale table. the slope of the wholesale table is 3/4 of the slope of the public table. the slope of the public table is 12 times greater than the slope of the wholesale table. the slope of the wholesale table is 12 times greater than the slope of the public table.
