Capitolo 1, Problema 51

Find each product. See Example 5. (4x² - 5y) (4x² + 5y)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the expression is a product of two binomials in the form \((a - b)(a + b)\), where \(a = 4x^{2}\) and \(b = 5y\).
Recall the difference of squares formula: \((a - b)(a + b) = a^{2} - b^{2}\).
Apply the formula by squaring each term: calculate \(a^{2} = (4x^{2})^{2}\) and \(b^{2} = (5y)^{2}\).
Write the expression as \(a^{2} - b^{2}\), which becomes \((4x^{2})^{2} - (5y)^{2}\).
Simplify the squares by applying the exponent rules: $(4x^{2})^{2} = 4^{2} imes (x^{2})^{2}$ and $(5y)^{2} = 5^{2} imes y^{2}$.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Difference of Squares

The difference of squares is a special product formula: (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b². It simplifies the multiplication of two binomials that are conjugates by subtracting the square of the second term from the square of the first.
