How do you factor #6x^2 = 600#?

Answer 1

#6(x-10)(x+10) = 0#

Begin by setting the equation equal to zero.

#6x^2=600#

#6x^2-600 = 0#
factor out 6

#6(x^2-100) = 0#
recognize that #(x^2-100)# is the difference of two squares
#(x)(x)# and #(10)(10)# with the signs being + and -

#6(x-10)(x+10) = 0#

To factor the equation 6x^2 = 600, first, divide both sides by 6 to get x^2 = 100. Then, take the square root of both sides to solve for x. The factored form is x = ±10.

Answer 3

Ethan Adkins

To factor the equation 6x^2 = 600, you start by dividing both sides by 6 to isolate x^2. This gives you x^2 = 100. Then, you take the square root of both sides to solve for x. The square root of 100 is 10, so x could be either positive 10 or negative 10. Therefore, the factored form of the equation is: (x - 10)(x + 10) = 0.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
