Question
Factor the expression
(6−x)(6+x)
Evaluate
36−x2
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
62−x2
Solution
(6−x)(6+x)
Show Solution
Find the roots
x1=−6,x2=6
Evaluate
36−x2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
36−x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x2=0−36
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x2=−36
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x2=36
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±36
