Full solution

Q. Solve for x x .\newlinex218x+81=0x= \begin{array}{l} x^{2}-18 x+81=0 \\ x=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation.\newlineThe given quadratic equation is x218x+81=0x^2 - 18x + 81 = 0. We need to find the values of xx that satisfy this equation.
  2. Factor the quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to 8181 (the constant term) and add up to 18-18 (the coefficient of the xx term). The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 9-9 and 9-9, since (9)×(9)=81(-9) \times (-9) = 81 and (9)+(9)=18(-9) + (-9) = -18.
  3. Write the factored form: Write the factored form of the equation.\newlineUsing the numbers found in Step 22, we can write the factored form of the equation as (x9)(x9)=0(x - 9)(x - 9) = 0.
  4. Solve for x using the factored form: Solve for x using the factored form.\newlineSet each factor equal to zero and solve for x:\newlinex9=0x - 9 = 0\newlineAdd 99 to both sides:\newlinex9+9=0+9x - 9 + 9 = 0 + 9\newlinex=9x = 9\newlineSince both factors are the same, we only get one unique solution for xx.
