Factor completely 49x2 - 81.
(7x + 9)2, (7x - 9)2, (7x + 9)(7x - 9), 7x - 9
Solution:
Given: Expression is 49x2 - 81
In order to find roots, we need to factor the given polynomial.
⇒ 49x2 - 81
⇒ ((7x)2 - 92)
This is in the form (a2 - b2), we know that the difference of squares is (a2 - b2) = (a + b)(a - b)
We can write ((7x)2 - 92) as (7x + 9) and (7x - 9)
⇒ (7x - 9)(7x + 9) = 0
Therefore, the factors of 49x2 - 81 are(7x - 9)(7x + 9).
Factor completely 49x2 - 81.
Summary:
Factors of 49x2 - 81 are(7x - 9)(7x + 9).
