Help me to factor the ex[ression
Solution
(x 6)^7/2 36(x 6)^3/2
taking the gcf out of the expression
(x-6)^3/2 is the gcf of the expression
(x-6)^3/2 { ( x-3)^2 - 36 )}
(x-6)^3/2 { ( x^2 -6x + 9 - 36 )}
(x-6)^3/2 { ( x^2 -6x - 27 ) }
factoring x^2 -6x-27 we get
(x-6)^3/2 ( x-9) (x+3) = (x-6)(x-6)^1/2(x-9)(x-3)
