Factoring Quadratics using Difference of Squares Joe,naz,hedger
EXAMPLE 1 Factoring Differences of Squares Solution: • Factor each binomial if possible.
Factoring Differences of Squares EXAMPLE 2 • Factor each difference of squares. Solution:
Factor a difference of squares Reversing this rule leads to the following special factoring rule. • The formula for the product of the sum and difference of the same two terms is For example, . The following conditions must be true for a binomial to be a difference of squares: • Both terms of the binomial must be squares, such as x2, 9y2, 25, 1, m4. • The second terms of the binomials must have different signs (one positive and one negative).
