Step by Step Solution
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.1 Factoring: x212-1452
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 : 1452 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.
Equation at the end of step 1 :
x212 - 1452 = 0
Step 2 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.1 Solve : x212-1452 = 0
Add 1452 to both sides of the equation :
x212 = 1452
x = 212th root of (1452)
The equation has two real solutions
These solutions are x = ± 212th root of 1452 = ± 1.0349
Two solutions were found :
x = ± 212th root of 1452 = ± 1.0349How did we do?
