Which of the following is a solution to the equation x^2 - 36x = 0

Which of the following is a solution to the equation x² - 36x = 0 ?

1. 72
2. 36
3. 18
4. 6
5. -6

Answer

The correct answer is B.

To solve the quadratic equation x² - 36x = 0 for x, you would factor the left side to apply the zero product rule to x(x - 36) = 0.

Thus, x = 0 or x - 36 = 0 implies x = 0 or 36.

The solution given as an answer choice is 36.
