Question
Factor by grouping to obtain the difference of two squares.$$x^{2}-12 x+36-y^{2}$$
Step 1
We can factor this trinomial by finding two numbers that multiply to 36 (the third term) and add to -12 (the coefficient of the second term). These numbers are -6 and -6. So, we can write the trinomial as $(x-6)^2$. Show more…
