Remember… Do you remember…. So….
Recognizing a Difference of Squares 1 st term is a perfect square 2 nd term is a perfect square Subtraction Answer… Example 1: Factor.
LTT: IS IT A DIFFERENCE OF SQUARES? If so… factor it. 1) x 2 – 4 2) 9x 2 – 1 3) 2x 2 – 4 4) 2x 2 – 8 5) x 2 + y 2 6) x 3 – 25 7) 9xy – y 2 8) x 2 9) -4 – 16x 2 10) x 4 – 81 1) YES 2) YES 3) NO √2 4) YES 2(x 2 – 4) - 5) NO Adding 6) NO x 3 7) NO x 8) YES x 2 – 9) NO -(4 + 16x 2 ) 10) YES √x 4 = x
Example 2 1.Factor out the GCF: 2.Rewrite the polynomial: 3.Factor the difference of squares inside of the parenthesis: 4.Don’t forget about the GCF on the outside
TOO: Factor 1) 25x 2 – 121 2) 16x 4 – y 2 3) x 2 4) 4x 2 – 9y 2 5) 3x 3 – 12x
