C
You have |x+3| - |4-x| = |8+x| First, look at the three values independently of their absolute value sign, in other words: |x+3| - |4-x| = |8+x| (x+3) - (4-x) = (8+x) Now, you're looking at x < - 8, số x is a number less than -8.

What is the greatest prime factor of 4^17 - 2^29?
[ "3", "31", "5", "2" ]
B
I'm happy to help with this. We know 4 = 2^2, so 4^17 = (2^2)^17 = 2^(2*17) = 2^34 That takes advantage of a law of exponents that says (a^n)^m = a^(n*m) So, 4^17 - 2^29 = 2^34 - 2^29 = 2^(29 + 5) - 2^29 = (2^29)*(2*6) - 2^29 = (2^6 - 1) *(2^29) = (32 - 1)*(2^29) = 31*(2^29) The prime factors of 31 are 31, so the large...
