Question
Find the following products: $ \big(\text{p}^2 + 16\big) \big(\text{p}^2−\frac{1}{4}\big)$
✓
Answer
Here, we will use the identity $(x+a)(x-b)=x^2+(a-b) x-a b$.
$ \big(\text{p}^2 + 16\big) \big(\text{p}^2−\frac{1}{4}\big)$
$=\big(\text{p}^2\big)2+\big(16−\frac{1}{4}\big)\big(\text{p}^2\big)−16×\frac{1}{4}$
$=\text{p}^4+\frac{63}{4}\text{p}^2−4$
