\( x^{2}-25 = (x-5)(x+5) \)
Solución
Factor the expression \( x^{2}-25 \).
Factor the expression by following steps:
- step0: Factor:
\(x^{2}-25\)
- step1: Rewrite the expression:
\(x^{2}-5^{2}\)
- step2: Factor the expression:
\(\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)\)
The expression \(x^{2}-25\) can be factored as \((x-5)(x+5)\).

Beyond the Answer
This expression is a difference of squares, which can be factored using the formula \( a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) \). In this case, \( x^2 \) is \( a^2 \) and \( 25 \) is \( b^2 \) (since \( b = 5 \)). So, we can write the factorization as \( (x - 5)(x + 5) \). When factoring expressions like this, it’s easy to forget to check if the components can be factored further. In this case, both \( x-5 \) and \( x+5 \) are already in their simplest form, as they are linear polynomials. Always ensure each component is as simplified as possible!
