What is the factored form of x^6-9?

(x³ + 3)(x³ - 3)

Explanation: A variable taken to any even power is a perfect square. Its factors will have exponents equal to one-half the original power.

In this case, x⁶ would therefore be a perfect square.

Since 9 is also a perfect square,

what we have here is the difference of two squares.

That can be factored as the product of two binomials,

one with a plus and one with a minus.

So we have (   +   )(   -   ).

Now ask yourself "what are the factors of x⁶ that are the same?"

Remember the rule is that those factors will use

one-half the exponent on the original.

So the factors of x⁶ that are the same are x³ and x³.

The factors of 9 that are the same are 3 and 3.

So our answer is (x³ + 3)(x³ - 3) and that's all there is to it.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
