Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares

2.1      Factoring:  25a2-b2

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  25  is the square of  5

Check :  a2  is the square of  a1

Check :  b2  is the square of  b1

Factorization is :       (5a + b)  •  (5a - b)
