Solve the following quadratic equation by factorization : (x – 5)(x – 6) = 25/(24)^2

Solve the Following Quadratic Equation by Factorization Question: \[ (x-5)(x-6)=\frac{25}{(24)^2} \] Solution Given, \[ (x-5)(x-6)=\frac{25}{576} \] Write the left side as a difference of squares: \[ (x-5)(x-6) = \left(x-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2 -\left(\frac12\right)^2 \] Therefore, \[ \left(x-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2-\frac14 = \frac{25}{576} \] \[ \left(x-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2 = \frac14+\frac{25}{576} \] \[ = \frac{144+25}{576} = \frac{169}{576} = \left(\frac{13}{24}\right)^2 \] \[ \left(x-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{13}{24}\right)^2 \] […]
