Solve l^236-1 - ScanMath

Question

Simplify the expression

36 l^{2} - 1

Evaluate

l^{2} \times 36 - 1

Solution

36 l^{2} - 1

Show Solution

(6 l - 1) (6 l + 1)

Evaluate

l^{2} \times 36 - 1

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

36 l^{2} - 1

Rewrite the expression in exponential form

(6 l)^{2} - 1^{2}

Solution

(6 l - 1) (6 l + 1)

Show Solution

l_{1} = - \frac{1}{6}, l_{2} = \frac{1}{6}

Alternative Form

l_{1} = - 0.1 \dot{6}, l_{2} = 0.1 \dot{6}

Evaluate

l^{2} \times 36 - 1

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

l^{2} \times 36 - 1 = 0

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

36 l^{2} - 1 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

36 l^{2} = 0 + 1

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

36 l^{2} = 1

Divide both sides

\frac{36 l ^{2}}{36} = \frac{1}{36}

Divide the numbers

l^{2} = \frac{1}{36}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

l = \pm \frac{1}{36}
