Factor X Squared 86Cbee

**Factoring $x^2$** **1. Understanding the Problem** - The expression to factor is $x^2$. - Factoring means expressing it as a product of simpler expressions. **2. Factoring $x^2$** - $x^2$ can be written as $x \times x$. - So, the factored form of $x^2$ is $x \cdot x$. **3. Important Notes** - If you want to factor $x^2 + 0x + 0$, the factored form is $x(x)$. - For more complex expressions like $x^2 + bx + c$, use other factoring methods. Summary: - $x^2$ factors simply into $x \cdot x$. - This is the simplest case of factoring a perfect square.
