Factorise\newlinex29 x^{2}-9

Full solution

Q. Factorise\newlinex29 x^{2}-9
  1. Recognize as difference of squares: Recognize that x29x^2 - 9 is a difference of squares.\newlinex29=(x)2(3)2x^2 - 9 = (x)^2 - (3)^2
  2. Apply formula: Apply the difference of squares formula: a2b2=(a+b)(ab)a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b). (x29)=(x+3)(x3)(x^2 - 9) = (x + 3)(x - 3)
