Question

Which products result in a difference of squares or a perfect square trinomial? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

The following are the answers for these:

(5x + 3)(5x – 3) ----> Difference of squares

(7x + 4)(7x + 4) ----> Perfect square trinomial

(2x + 1)(x + 2) ----> Neither

(4x – 6)(x + 8) ----> Neither

(x – 9)(x – 9)-----> Perfect square trinomial

(–3x – 6)(–3x + 6) -----> Difference of squares.

The easiest way to tell these is that if the parenthesis are exactly the same it will be a perfect square trinomial. If the parenthesis are the same except for the sign in between the terms, it is a difference of square. If it has neither of these, then it is neither.

Answer 2
