Answer:
Final result :
5y2
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "y2" was replaced by "y^2". 1 more similar replacement(s).
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.1 Factoring: x-y2
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 : x1 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x + (3 • (y2))) - 2 • (x - y2)
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(2x + 3y2) - 2 • (x - y2)
Step 3 :
Final result :
5y2
