Question

verify (P - q)^2 - 6 (P - q) - 16
​

Answer 1

Answer:

verify (P -q) *2 -6 (P-q) -16

Answer 2

Answer:

$(P-q)^2-6(P-q)-16= (P-q-8)(P-q+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(P-q)^2-6(P-q)-16$

Let $(P-q)$ be $x$

$x^2-6x-16\\\\= x^2+2x-8x-16\\\\= x(x+2)-8(x+2)\\\\= (x-8)(x+2)\\\\= [(P-q)-8][(P-q)+2]\\\\= (P-q-8)(P-q+2)$
