Question

What is x^2-12x+36 in factored form?

Answer 1

For this case we must factor the following expression:

`x ^ 2-12x + 36`

We must find two numbers that when multiplied give as a result "36" and when added together they give "-12". These numbers are:

`-6-6 = -12\\-6 * -6 = 36`

Then, the factorization is given by:

`(x-6) (x-6) = (x-6) ^ 2`

Answer:

`(x-6) ^ 2`
