x2−502
Solution
(x−50)(x+50)
Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=−50,x2=50
Evaluate
x2−2500
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x2−2500=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2=0+2500
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2=2500
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±2500
Simplify the expression
