\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"25x%5E2-36\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x%29%5E2-36\" Rewrite \"25x%5E2\" as \"%285x%29%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x%29%5E2-%286%29%5E2\" Rewrite \"36\" as \"%286%29%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice how we have a difference of squares. So let's use the difference of squares formula \"A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29\" to factor the expression:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285x%2B6%29%285x-6%29\" Factor the expression using the difference of squares.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"25x%5E2-36\" factors to \"%285x%2B6%29%285x-6%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words \"25x%5E2-36=%285x%2B6%29%285x-6%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
