Solve 1/6(x-0)^2-31

$$\frac { 1 } { 6 } ( x - 0 ) ^ { 2 } - 31$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{x^{2}}{6}-31$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -1 and 0 to get 0.

$$\frac{1}{6}\left(x+0\right)^{2}-31$$

Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$\frac{1}{6}x^{2}-31$$

Factor

$$\frac{x^{2}-186}{6}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{6}. Polynomial x^{2}-186 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.

$$\frac{x^{2}-186}{6}$$
