9x^2-25
(3x - 5)(3x + 5)
9x^2, 3 x 3 = 9 x * x = x^2
5 x 5 = 25 -5 x 5 = -25
That's what makes these so easy. Lol.
\(\bf 9 = 3^2 \qquad \qquad 25 = 5^2 \qquad \qquad (a-b)(a+b) = (a^2-b^2)\)
I put a lot of work into this question, mind giving me a medal?
Wolf, I wanted to see what you were going to say. Say it already.
Thanks you
x=+-sqroot(4*9 *-25) / 18 x = +-sqroot(900) / 18 x = 5 / 3 x = -(5/3) That's the answer I get.
Lol.
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.
All I saw was a quadratic equation and proceeded to solve it.
Lol. Wolf.
Well I didn't specifically see a "Factoring Only" sign attached to the equation. LOL
Besides, you've got a 61 rating, I only have a 60.
Lol, rating has no meaning to me.
So with the directions involving factoring the answer would be (3x-5) (3x+5)?
Lol yes. His answer was dumb, he doesn't understand the question.
Well. Thank you.
Um.
What lol
I was wondering if you could help me with x^3+27
(x + 3)(x^2 - 3x + 9)
How do you get that though?
Why wouldn't it be (x+3)(x^2+9)?
That doesn't equal x^3 + 27. Lol.
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.
How do you get the -3x part?
It's how you get the 3 x's to multiply.
to have x^3
Mickey1992 - gee you make a reference to "his answer was dumb" anyone in particular you had in mind when you said that?
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.
Your*
I may need a step by step problem solving.....
Well gee mickey, since I am so intellectually inadequate I guess I'll leave this discussion.
Yes, please leave.
