Question 1: Mathematics Knowledge measures a person's grasp of fundamental high school mathematical principles. Let's look ata a few examples.<br> <br> Mathematics - Sample Question For all x, (x - 4)( x + 4) = ?
- x2 + 2x - 16
- x2 - 2x + 16
- x2 + 16
- x2 - 16 (Correct answer)
- ±4
Correct answer: x2 - 16
The correct answer is D. <br> This is solved using the connection a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a -b). Hence 9x -4)(x - 4) x2 - 16. If you do not remember the formula by heart this can also be solved by opening the brackets: (x -4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x - 4x -16 + x2 - 16
