Question

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring. Wrire the answer in reduced fraction form, if necessary.

Answer 1

We have the quadratic equation

`36x^2=25`

Let's divide both sides by 36 to obtain;

`\begin{gathered} x^2=(25)/(36) \\ \text{get the square root of both sides, we have;} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\pm]{(25)/(36)} \\ x=\pm(5)/(6) \end{gathered}`

So, x =

`(5)/(6)`

and x is also

`-(5)/(6)`
