Question

(40 pts)can you factor the difference of square?perfect square trinomials?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two squares may be represented by the formula:  a^2-b^2,

which can be factored as (a+b)(a-b)

A perfect square trinomial may be represented by the formula: a^(2)-2ab+b^2 or  a^(2)+2ab+b^2, depending on the sign of b

if b is negative: use the formula a^(2)-2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a-b)*(a-b) or (a-b)^(2)

if b is positive: use the formula a^(2)+2ab+b^2, which can be factored as (a+b)*(a+b) or (a+b)^(2)
