Question

Which pattern can be used to factor the high-degree polynomial 16x^8−49x^2?(1 point)

A. (a−b)(a+b)=a2−b2

B. (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2

C. Neither the difference of squares nor the perfect square trinomial pattern can be used to factor 16x8−49x2.

D. (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Answer 1

C. Neither the difference of squares nor the perfect square trinomial pattern can be used to factor 16x^8−49x^2.
