Question

What type of factoring is this? x^2-25 Step by step :)

Answer 1

To Find :

• we need to factorize x² - 25

Solution :

x² - 25 can be written as x² - (5)²

›› x² - (5)²

By using identity a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

›› (x + 5)(x - 5)

Answer 2

Answer:

Take the square root of 25 to factor this equation out.

The equation will look like this:

$x^{2} -5^{2}$         (this is the $a^{2} -b^{2}$ = (a-b)(a+b) property)

= (x-5)(x+5)
