Solve the equation for x:
36x³ - 100x = 0
36x³ - 100x = 0
4x(9x² - 25) = 0 {factored out the common factor, x} 4x(3x + 5)(3x - 5) = 0 {factored the difference of two squares} 4x = 0 or 3x + 5 = 0 or 3x - 5 = 0 {set each factor equal to 0} x = 0 or x = -5/3 or x = 5/3 {solved each equation for x} x = 0, -5/3, 5/3 Ask Algebra House Comments are closed.
