Factor completely 25-64x^2

Sagot :

240002852

Answer:

(5+8) (5-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

They are both perfect squares.

Answer:

(5+8x)(5-8x)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 'difference of two squares" Difference means subtraction and 25 is a perfect square and 64x^2 is a perfect square.

If you know how to factor quadratic trinomials like

ax^2 + bx + c, you can do the same thing here, using:

64x^2 +0x + 25

BUT, there's a shortcut. It is a pattern that you memorize. Since 25 is 5^2, put 5 first in the parenthesis. And since 64x^2 is 8x squared, put 8x second in the parenthesis like this:

(5 8x)

Make two of them:

(5 8x)(5 8x)

Make one a plus and one a minus.

(5 + 8x)(5 - 8x)

Done!

Well, if the directions say "factor" then you are done. If the directions say "solve" then put each piece equal to zero and solve for x.

Hope this helps!
