Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
7a2 - 63b2 = 7 • (a2 - 9b2)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
4.2 Factoring: a2 - 9b2
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 : 9 is the square of 3
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (a + 3b) • (a - 3b)
Final result :
7 • (a + 3b) • (a - 3b)
