Solve: 25x2 − 36 = 0.
x = 6, 5
x = −6, −5
x = 36 over 25, x = − 36 over 25
x = 6 over 5, x = − 6 over 5

difference of squares \[\huge\rm a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\]
Nnesha (nnesha):
take square root of both terms
(sqrt of 1st term + sqrt of 2nd term)(sqrt of 1st term - sqrt of 2nd term)

I am lost
Nnesha (nnesha):
here is an example
if i have 4 i can write it as 2^2 power right ? so what number to the 2 power = 25

Nnesha (nnesha):
right so you can write it as \[\huge\rm 5^2x^2-6^2\] which is same as \[\rm a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\]
Nnesha (nnesha):
a is first term and b is 2nd term
what is a and b in ur equation ?

a=5^2 and b=6^2
Nnesha (nnesha):
not just 5^2
a=5^2x^2
so write it as (a-b)(a+B)
Nnesha (nnesha):
ohh wait
Nnesha (nnesha):
a= 5x
b=6
not squares
Nnesha (nnesha):
difference of squares \[\huge\rm\color{reD}{ a}^2-\color{blue}{b}^2=(\color{Red}{a}+\color{blue}{b})(\color{reD}{a}-\color{blue}{b})\]
