How to factorise 1/36 - x squared

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 13-05-20] [Hit: ]
Therefore,1/36 - x² = (1/6 + x)(1/6 - x)-1/36 - x^2 is the difference of two squares.......
please explain your steps :)
Thank you!

This is a difference of two squares. The correct way to write the problem is 1/36 - x^2. Recall that the rule for factoring a difference of two squares a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b). So you need to take the positive square root of a^2, which is a, and the positive square root of b^2, which is b.

Here, the square root of 1/36 is 1/6 and the square root of x^2 is x. So now use the factoring rule mentioned above. FOIL your answer to check it.

The difference of two squares is equal to the product of the sum and difference of the square root of the two squares. In general,

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

Therefore,

1/36 - x² = (1/6 + x)(1/6 - x)

1/36 - x^2 is the difference of two squares. All problems like this are factored as follows:

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

1/36 - x^2 = (1/6 + x)(1/6 - x)

-
1/36-x2=
use this formula a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b)
1/36-x2=(1/6)2-x2
=(1/6-x)(1/6+x)=0
1/6-x=0
x=1/6
1/6+x=0
x=-1/6
factors are=1/6 and -1/6

-
= 1/(6 - x) * 1/(6 + x)
