Question 168679: factor the polynomial.
9x^2-64.
I wasnt sure how to do this since it isnt in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0
hope you can help!! THANKS! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9x^2-64.
The form is a^2 - b^2 which factors as (a-b)(a+b)
------------------------
(3x)^2 - 8^2 = (3x-8)(3x+8)
