Question

Factor the difference of two squares. 36 to the Power of 2 minus 1

Answer 1

To factor the difference of two squares, we'll use the formula:

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

In this case, we have:

36^2 - 1 = (36 + 1)(36 - 1)

Simplifying further:

36^2 - 1 = (37)(35)

Therefore, the factorization of 36^2 - 1 is (37)(35).
