Question

What is the factored form of x6 – 9?

(x 3)(x – 3)


(x5 3)(x – 3)


(x3 3)(x2 – 3)


(x3 3)(x3 – 3)

Answer 1

(x^3 + 3) * (x^3 - 3).

Answer 2

If you would like to know the factored form of x^6 - 9, you can do this using the following steps:

x^6 - 9 = (x^3 + 3) * (x^3 - 3) = x^3 * x^3 - 3x^3 + 3x^3 - 3 * 3 = x^6 - 9

The correct result would be (x^3 + 3) * (x^3 - 3).
