Factor 36-x^2

Problem

36−x2

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a difference of two squares, which follows the general form a2−b2

2. Determine the values of a and b by taking the square root of each term.

3. Calculate a=√(,36)=6

4. Calculate b=√(,x2)=x

5. Apply the formula for the difference of squares, a2−b2=(a−b)*(a+b) to factor the expression.

Final Answer

36−x2=(6−x)*(6+x)
