@Directrix @YoloShroom

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?

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

oh there is \(0\) too
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol

Sorry - my computer + OS = Slow
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(x^2 = x \implies x(x-1) = 0 \implies x\) must be \(0\) or \(1\)

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

Now look at it...
OpenStudy (freckles):
no complaints here
1 definitely is 1^2

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

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
