Question Simplify the expression 36x2+72x+36 Evaluate (−6x−6)2A negative base raised to an even power equals a positive (6x+6)2Use (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2 to expand the expression (6x)2+2×6x×6+62Solution 36x2+72x+36 Show Solution Factor the expression 36(x+1)2 Evaluate (−6x−6)2Evaluate 36x2+72x+36Solution 36(x+1)2 Show Solution Find the roots x=−1 Evaluate (−6x−6)2To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 (−6x−6)2=0The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0 −6x−6=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign −6x=0+6Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression −6x=6Change the signs on both sides of the equation 6x=−6Divide both sides 66x=6−6Divide the numbers x=6−6Solution More Steps Evaluate 6−6Reduce the numbers 1−1Calculate −1 x=−1 Show Solution
