It t is a number greater than 1. Then t^2 is how much greater than t?

Question

Choices:

A) 1

B) 2

C) t

D) t(t-1)

E) (t - 1)(t+1)

Answer 1

The difference between t^2 and t is t^2 - t

t^2 - t = t(t - 1)

The answer is (D)

Answer 2

t^2 - t =

t(t-1)

basic factoring

Answer 3

Answer is D

E.g.

1) If t = 2

2^2 = 4 so difference is 2

2 (2 - 1) = 2

2) If t = 3

3^2 = 9 difference is 6

check: 3 (3-1) = 6
