Question

Express 4a as the difference of two squares.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results. Step 3: Determine if the remaining factors can be factored any further.
