Solution - Simplification or other simple results
9*(2s+5)*(2s-5)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(22•32s2) - 225
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
36s2 - 225 = 9 • (4s2 - 25)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
3.2 Factoring: 4s2 - 25
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : s2 is the square of s1
Factorization is : (2s + 5) • (2s - 5)
Final result :
9 • (2s + 5) • (2s - 5)
