  1. use difference of 2 square

    so 5x^2 - 7 is ur answer

    to do that u must find the square of each of the 2 terms


  2. With experience, these answers will "jump off the page at you".

    because 25 and 49 are square numbers, look at it this way:

    (5x^2) ^2 - 7^2

    To make this easier to recognize, we'll call 5x^2 "y":

    y^2 - 7^2

    The difference between 2 squares always factor to the sum and difference of their roots.

    (y+7) (y-7) = Y*Y -7*7 + (7y -7y cancel each other out)

    Then replace y...    (5x^2 + 7) (5x^2 - 7)

    the rest is easy!

    Multiplying powers = adding exponents.

    Dividing powers = subtracting exponents

    1 / y^11 = y^(-11), so y^4 * y^(-11) = y^(4-11) = y^(-7) or 1 / y^(7)


  3. 25x^4 - 49 = 25x^4 - 7^2  

    = (5^2) [(x^2)^2)] - 7^2

    =[5x^2]^2 - 7^2

    this is in the form a^2 - b^2

    so =(a-b) (a+b)  

    a= 5x^2 , b =7

    = (5x^2 - 7) (5x^2+7)  

    2)  y^4/y^11 =  (y)^ (4-11) = y^ (-7) or  1/(y^7)   answer

    good luck

  4. y^4 / y^11

    = y^(4 - 11)

    = y^-7

    or 1

       ----

       y^7

    25^4 - 49

    = (5x^2 + 7) ( 5x^2 - 7)

    Thank you.

  5. y4/y11= 1/y7

    25x^4 - 49= (5x²-7)(5x²+7)


  6. 25(x^4) - 49 = [5(x^2) - 7][5(x^2) + 7]

    y^4      

    ------ = 1/(y^7)

    y^11
