Question

Consider the polynomial 16x² - 1.What is the value of ac?What is the value of b?What two numbers multiply to get ac and add to get b?The factored form of 16x² - 1 is

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The given polynomial is expressed as

16x^2 - 1

The standard form of a quadratic polynomial is expressed as

ax^2 + bx + c

By comparing both polynomials,

a = 16

b = 0

c = - 1
