Question Simplify the expression 64−16x+x2 Evaluate (8−x)2Use (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2 to expand the expression 82−2×8x+x2Solution 64−16x+x2 Show Solution Find the roots x=8 Evaluate (8−x)2To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 (8−x)2=0The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0 8−x=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign −x=0−8Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression −x=−8Solution x=8 Show Solution
