Question

Solve using perfect square factoring patterns.

x^2 – 12x + 36 = 4

Answer 1

(x-6)^2 -6
multiply this out =x^2-12x+36-6 =original but how did we get that
you look at the 12x term take half put in the bracket (x-6)^2 multiply it out see what you have added and subtract it to balance if you add you must subtract to balance
it takes longer to explain than do

Answer 2

x^2 – 12x + 36 = 4
implies (x-6)^2=2^2
implies x-6=2 or -2
implies x=8 or x=4

Answer 4

x^2 – 12x + 36 = 4 implies (x-6)^2=2^2
implies (x-6)^2-2^2=0
implies (x-6+2)(x-6-2)=0
implies (x-4)(x-8)=0
implies x=4,8
