Development:

In Problems 75–85, factor completely each polynomial. If the polynomial cannot be factored, say it is
prime.

𝟕𝟓. ) x 2 – 36

= 𝑥2 − 62 We apply the following rule for squared binomials

¿(x +6).(x−6)

𝟕𝟔. ) x 2−39

This equation cannot be factored since 39 is not a perfect square binomial. and whose result to
date is 6.24
