Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The equation x^2 - 9 = 0 has roots that are: (2019)
  • Step 1: Start with the equation x^2 - 9 = 0.
  • Step 2: Recognize that x^2 - 9 is a difference of squares, which can be factored.
  • Step 3: Factor the equation into (x - 3)(x + 3) = 0.
  • Step 4: Set each factor equal to zero: x - 3 = 0 and x + 3 = 0.
  • Step 5: Solve the first equation: x - 3 = 0 gives x = 3.
  • Step 6: Solve the second equation: x + 3 = 0 gives x = -3.
  • Step 7: The roots of the equation are -3 and 3.
