factor x^-196

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I assume your question is x^2 - 196

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 - (14)^2 = (x+14)(x-14) This result occured by using the following identity \[(a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14^2 = 196

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I wrote \[x^2 - (14)^2 = (x+14)(x-14)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This result is obtained by Using the identity I mentioned above
