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 = ± 1.0349
