9x^2-25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3x - 5)(3x + 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x^2, 3 x 3 = 9 x * x = x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 x 5 = 25 -5 x 5 = -25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what makes these so easy. Lol.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf 9 = 3^2 \qquad \qquad 25 = 5^2 \qquad \qquad (a-b)(a+b) = (a^2-b^2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put a lot of work into this question, mind giving me a medal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wolf, I wanted to see what you were going to say. Say it already.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks you

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

x=+-sqroot(4*9 *-25) / 18 x = +-sqroot(900) / 18 x = 5 / 3 x = -(5/3) That's the answer I get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This type of question is asking for factoring. Wolf, you can't get any answer like that without a variable/number that is equal to the equation.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

All I saw was a quadratic equation and proceeded to solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol. Wolf.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well I didn't specifically see a "Factoring Only" sign attached to the equation. LOL

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Besides, you've got a 61 rating, I only have a 60.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, rating has no meaning to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So with the directions involving factoring the answer would be (3x-5) (3x+5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol yes. His answer was dumb, he doesn't understand the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well. Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was wondering if you could help me with x^3+27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x + 3)(x^2 - 3x + 9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you get that though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why wouldn't it be (x+3)(x^2+9)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That doesn't equal x^3 + 27. Lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have see hundreds of equations and factors which I already know In my head. It's like pi. I memorize certain numbers times pi equals this output.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you get the -3x part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's how you get the 3 x's to multiply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to have x^3

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Mickey1992 - gee you make a reference to "his answer was dumb" anyone in particular you had in mind when you said that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're answer was pathetic, your knowledge on this subject is sad. I'm trying to help this person, but you inform him/her wrong information and confuse him/her.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I may need a step by step problem solving.....

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well gee mickey, since I am so intellectually inadequate I guess I'll leave this discussion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, please leave.
