Factor 36x^2-1

Problem

36*x^2−1

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a difference of two squares, which follows the pattern a^2−b^2

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

3. Calculate a=√(,36*x^2)=6*x

4. Calculate b=√(,1)=1

5. Apply the formula for the difference of squares: a^2−b^2=(a−b)*(a+b)

6. Substitute the values of a and b into the formula.

Final Answer

36*x^2−1=(6*x−1)*(6*x+1)
