To solve the quadratic equation 4x^2-36=0, we can first factor out the greatest common factor, which is 4:
4(x^2 - 9) = 0
We can further simplify the equation by factoring the difference of squares:
4(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0
Now, we can apply the zero product property, which states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero:
Setting each factor equal to zero, we have:
x - 3 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Solving for x in each equation:
x = 3 or x = -3
So, the solutions to the equation 4x^2-36=0 are x = 3 and x = -3.
