Let's learn how to factor $x^2$! 1. Imagine you have 1 big square toy: 🟩 2. This big square is $x^2$, which means $x$ times $x$. 3. To factor $x^2$, we find what two things multiply to make $x^2$. 4. Since $x^2 = x \times x$, factoring it is just writing it as $(x)(x)$. So, the factor of $x^2$ is $(x)(x)$! Great job! 🎉
