Regents Exam: Algebra I August 2016 (Problem 8 of 37)

The video tutorial explains how to determine which expression is equivalent to 36X^2 - 100 by factoring. It begins by discussing the use of the distributive property and then moves on to finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms. The tutorial further explains how to factor the expression as a difference of squares, ultimately leading to the correct factored form that matches one of the given options.

What expression is equivalent to 36 X squared minus 100?

How can we determine the greatest common factor between the coefficients of the terms in the polynomial?

What is the prime factorization of 36 and 100?

What is the result of factoring out the greatest common factor from the expression 36 X squared - 100?

Explain how the expression 9 X squared - 25 can be factored as a difference of squares.
