Factor polynomial $$ u^{2}-100 $$
Answer
$$ u^{2}-100 = ( u-10 )( u+10 ) $$
Explanation
Rewrite $ u^{2}-100 $ as:
$$ u^{2}-100 = (u)^2 - (10)^2 $$Now we can apply the difference of squares formula.
$$ I^2 - II^2 = (I - II)(I + II) $$After putting $ I = u $ and $ II = 10 $ , we have:
$$ u^{2}-100 = (u)^2 - (10)^2 = ( u-10 ) ( u+10 ) $$This page was created using
