3m2−300
Show Solution

Factor the expression
3(m−10)(m+10)
Evaluate
3m×m−300
Evaluate
3m2−300

3(m2−100)
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
m2−100
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
m2−102
Use a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b) to factor the expression
(m−10)(m+10)
3(m−10)(m+10)
Show Solution

Find the roots
m1=−10,m2=10
Evaluate
3m×m−300
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
3m×m−300=0
Multiply the terms
3m2−300=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3m2=0+300
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3m2=300
Divide both sides
33m2=3300
Divide the numbers
m2=3300
