Domanda del libro di testo
In Exercises 1–68, factor completely, or state that the polynomial is prime. x² + 10x − y² + 25
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the polynomial: \(x^2 + 10x - y^2 + 25\).
Rearrange the terms to group them: \((x^2 + 10x + 25) - y^2\).
Recognize that \(x^2 + 10x + 25\) is a perfect square trinomial, which can be factored as \((x + 5)^2\).
Rewrite the expression using the difference of squares formula: \((x + 5)^2 - y^2\).
Apply the difference of squares formula: \((a^2 - b^2) = (a - b)(a + b)\), where \(a = (x + 5)\) and \(b = y\), resulting in \((x + 5 - y)(x + 5 + y)\).
