When factoring x^2+36=12x, would the answer be (6,0) or just 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just 6. it factors to (x-6)(x-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The factored form should be (x-6)^2. However, if you are trying to find the root, then it would be 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, I agree with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if you look at the graph ( http://bit.ly/ikgTmp) it only touches the x axis at x=6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just says solve the equation by factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yes, the answer is x=6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was just 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 :)
