Can someone help me with this?
Connie is factoring 0.36t28 – 25 by using the rule a2 - 62 = (a + b)(a - b).
What will she use for the value of a?

0.36

0.6t14

0.6

0.06014

Answer:

  (b)  0.6t^14

Step-by-step explanation:

The a^2 term in Connie's expression is ...

  a^2 = 0.36t^28 = (0.6t^14)^2

That means ...

  a = 0.6t^14

__

Additional comment

The b^2 term is 25, so ...

  b^2 = 25 = 5^2

  b = 5

Connie's factoring will be ...

  0.36t^28 -25 = (0.6t^14 -5)(0.6t^14 +5)
