Question
Factor the expression
(x−10)(x+10)
Evaluate
x2−100
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
x2−102
Solution
(x−10)(x+10)
Show Solution
Find the roots
x1=−10,x2=10
Evaluate
x2−100
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x2−100=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2=0+100
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2=100
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±100
Simplify the expression
