Factor X Squared 9F0B24

1. **State the problem:** We want to factor the expression $x^2$. 2. **Recall the factoring rules:** - Factoring means expressing a polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials. - $x^2$ is a perfect square term, which can be written as $x \times x$. 3. **Factor $x^2$:** $$x^2 = x \times x$$ 4. **Explanation:** - Since $x^2$ is the square of $x$, its factors are simply $x$ and $x$. - There are no other factors unless you consider constants or complex numbers. 5. **Final answer:** $$x^2 = x \cdot x$$
