Does this problem look like the difference of 2 squares to you (as in factoring).

Directrix (directrix):

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b) * (a - b) factoring pattern

Directrix (directrix):

900 - 1 = (30^2) - 1^2 = what when factored?

OpenStudy (freckles):

6^2 doesn't equal 1 @Austin1617

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where did 6^2 come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 6 x 6 doesn't = -1

OpenStudy (freckles):

that is a b not a 6

OpenStudy (freckles):

b being 1 here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks \(1\) is the only real number that equals itself when squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YESS I KNOW PEOPLE

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh there is \(0\) too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

Directrix (directrix):

Sorry - my computer + OS = Slow

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(x^2 = x \implies x(x-1) = 0 \implies x\) must be \(0\) or \(1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[900-1=30^{2}-1^{2}=(30+1)(30-1)=(31)(29)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now look at it...

OpenStudy (freckles):

no complaints here 1 definitely is 1^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TA-daa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I accidently pressed 6 but didn't even notice lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

6 is miles away from 1 on keyboard

OpenStudy (freckles):

we can give 6 one's meaning and 1 six's meaning but then we would confuse the world

OpenStudy (freckles):

it would be so fun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have like three screens, watching a movie, and doing homework

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we can scale all numbers by 6 to make ur answer correct
