Plz Help! what is the expression in factored form. I don't want the answer I need help getting first part. expression will follow:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2}-36\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This expression could be rewritten as \[x^2+0x-36\] Can you think of two numbers that multiply to give you -36 and add to give you zero?

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

(x+6)(x-6)
