Factor polynomial $$ 49z^{2}-4 $$
Answer
$$ 49z^{2}-4 = ( 7z-2 )( 7z+2 ) $$
Explanation
Rewrite $ 49z^{2}-4 $ as:
$$ 49z^{2}-4 = (7z)^2 - (2)^2 $$Now we can apply the difference of squares formula.
$$ I^2 - II^2 = (I - II)(I + II) $$After putting $ I = 7z $ and $ II = 2 $ , we have:
$$ 49z^{2}-4 = (7z)^2 - (2)^2 = ( 7z-2 ) ( 7z+2 ) $$This page was created using
