Question

Factor 64 - P.
(8 - x(8 - x)
(8 + x (8 - x)
(X + 8)(x-8)

Answer 1

Question:

Factor $64-x^2$

(8 - x)(8 - x)

(8 + x) (8 - x)

(X + 8)(x-8)

Answer:

Option B: $(8+x)(8-x)$ is the factor

Explanation:

Given that the expression is $64-x^2$

We need to find the factor of the given expression.

Let us rewrite the expression as $8^2-x^{2}$

Since the expression is of the form $a^2-b^2$, let us use the identity $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

where a = 8 and b = x

Substituting the values in the identity, then the expression can be written as

$8^2-x^{2}=(8+x)(8-x)$

Thus, the factor of the expression is $(8+x)(8-x)$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
