3z^{2}\times 3=16\times 36
Multiply both sides of the equation by 48, the least common multiple of 16,3.
9z^{2}=16\times 36
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
9z^{2}=576
Multiply 16 and 36 to get 576.
9z^{2}-576=0
Subtract 576 from both sides.
z^{2}-64=0
Divide both sides by 9.
\left(z-8\right)\left(z+8\right)=0
Consider z^{2}-64. Rewrite z^{2}-64 as z^{2}-8^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
z=8 z=-8
To find equation solutions, solve z-8=0 and z+8=0.
3z^{2}\times 3=16\times 36
Multiply both sides of the equation by 48, the least common multiple of 16,3.
9z^{2}=16\times 36
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
9z^{2}=576
Multiply 16 and 36 to get 576.
z^{2}=\frac{576}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
z^{2}=64
Divide 576 by 9 to get 64.
z=8 z=-8
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
3z^{2}\times 3=16\times 36
Multiply both sides of the equation by 48, the least common multiple of 16,3.
9z^{2}=16\times 36
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
9z^{2}=576
Multiply 16 and 36 to get 576.
9z^{2}-576=0
Subtract 576 from both sides.
z=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 9\left(-576\right)}}{2\times 9}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 9 for a, 0 for b, and -576 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
z=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 9\left(-576\right)}}{2\times 9}
Square 0.
z=\frac{0±\sqrt{-36\left(-576\right)}}{2\times 9}
Multiply -4 times 9.
z=\frac{0±\sqrt{20736}}{2\times 9}
Multiply -36 times -576.
z=\frac{0±144}{2\times 9}
Take the square root of 20736.
z=\frac{0±144}{18}
Multiply 2 times 9.
z=8
Now solve the equation z=\frac{0±144}{18} when ± is plus. Divide 144 by 18.
z=-8
Now solve the equation z=\frac{0±144}{18} when ± is minus. Divide -144 by 18.
z=8 z=-8
The equation is now solved.
