Answer:
x² - 25 divided by x - 5 is x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Division of a Perfect Square Binomial
A perfect square binomial is the sum of the square of the first terms, twice the product of the two terms, and the square of the last term.
x² - 25 divided by x - 5
Since both terms in x² - 25 are perfect squares, we need to factor it first before dividing. To factor, we need to use the difference of squares formula:
a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b)
Solution:
Let us factor x² - 25.
x² - 25 = (x + 5) (x - 5)
Now divide.
(x + 5) (x - 5) / x + 5 = x + 5
Final Answer:
x + 5
Checking:
Use the FOIL method.
(x + 5) (x - 5)
x • x = x²
+5 • -5 = -25
5x - 5x = 0
x² - 25 ✔
