Exercise 8 Page 86

Notice that the given expression is the product of a conjugate pair of binomials.

4b^2-25

To simplify the given expression, we will expand the product of a conjugate pair of binomials.
(2b-5)(2b+5)
(2b)^2-5^2
2^2b^2-5^2
4b^2-25
Since there are no like terms, our expression cannot be simplified any further.
