Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares
2.1 Factoring: 4m2-n2
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 : 4 is the square of 2
Check : m2 is the square of m1
Check : n2 is the square of n1
Factorization is : (2m + n) • (2m - n)
Final result :
(2m + n) • (2m - n)
