Pulling out like terms

4.1 Pull out like factors :

100x2 - 80xy + 16y2 = 4 • (25x2 - 20xy + 4y2)

Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :

4.2 Factoring 25x2 - 20xy + 4y2

Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error

Found a factorization : (5x - 2y)•(5x - 2y)

Detecting a perfect square :

4.3 25x2 -20xy +4y2 is a perfect square

It factors into (5x-2y)•(5x-2y)

which is another way of writing (5x-2y)2

How to recognize a perfect square trinomial:

• It has three terms

• Two of its terms are perfect squares themselves

• The remaining term is twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms

Final result :

4 • (5x - 2y)2
