1) A = (4x - 1)² - (4x - 1) (x + 4)
A = (4x)² - 2 * 4x * 1 + 1² - [4x * x + 4x * 4 - 1 * x - 1 * 4]
A = 16x² - 8x + 1 - (4x² + 16x - x - 4)
A = 16x² - 8x + 1 - 4x² - 16x + x + 4
A = 12x² - 23x + 5
2) A = (4x - 1)² - (4x - 1) (x + 4)
A = (4x - 1) [(4x - 1) - (x + 4)]
A = (4x - 1) (4x - 1 - x - 4)
A = (4x - 1) (3x - 5)
3) a. Pour x = - 4
A = 12x² - 23x + 5
A = 12 * (- 4)² - 23 * (- 4) + 5
A = 12 * 16 + 92 + 5
A = 192 + 92 + 5
A = 289
b. Pour x = - 2
A = 12x² - 23x + 5
A = 12 * (- 2)² - 23 * (- 2) + 5
A = 12 * 4 + 46 + 5
A = 48 + 46 + 5
A = 99
c. Pour x = 3
A = (4x - 1) (3x - 5)
A = (4 * 3 - 1) (3 * 3 - 5)
A = (12 - 1) (9 - 5)
A = 11 * 4
A = 44
