Use :
\[a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So this way:
\[x^2-9 = ?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Just replace a with x and b with 3..

replace 9 by 3^2
and factor it using that difference of squares formula
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\[\large x^2-9 = x^2 - 3^2 = (x+3)(x-3)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok i got that, that was easy. just facorting the numberator
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes that factor `x-3` cancels the bottom factor
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
giving you just `x + 3`
