Question

in each of the following find the product:

\\(x - 6)(x + 6)\\

Explanation:

Identify the algebraic form

$$ (x - 6)(x + 6) $$

Apply the difference of squares formula

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

$$ (x - 6)(x + 6) = x^2 - 6^2 $$

Simplify the expression

$$ x^2 - 36 $$

Answer:

\(x^2 - 36\)
