Section 5.5: Exercises 36, 44, 66, 72, and 82

Factoring a difference of two fourth powers

m2-n2m2+n2
m-nm+nm2+n2

3x(x2-4)
3x(x-2)(x+2)

GCF=2
24b2+12b+9
22b+32

a=3   b=-18     c=-48       a*c=-144
(1,-144)(2,-72)(3,-48)(4,-36)(6,-24)(8,-18)(9,-16)(12,-12)
3(x2-6-16)
a=1   b=-6     c=-16     a*c=-16

3(x-2)(x-3)

This is already factored completely

Section 5.6: Exercises 18, 32, 54, 58, 66, 98, 100, and 104

h=-1 or h=32

w=-12 or w=14

x=-6 or x=6

x=0 or x=-2 or x=2

x=-1 or x=2

Let a = the trains leg from the crossing and b = the car from the crossing   and c = the difference in distance. This is a right triangle.
a2-b2=c2
502-302=c2
2500-900=c2
1600=c
c=40

Let x = the small field; then x+1= the middle field and x+3 = the large field....
