Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.1 Factoring: a2-b2
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 : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (a + b) • (a - b)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.2 Factoring: a2 - b2
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (a + b) • (a - b)
Multiplying Exponential Expressions :
1.3 Multiply (a + b) by (a + b)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (a+b) and the exponents are :
1 , as (a+b) is the same number as (a+b)1
and 1 , as (a+b) is the same number as (a+b)1
The product is therefore, (a+b)(1+1) = (a+b)2
Evaluate an expression :
1.4 Multiply (a-b) by (a-b)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (a-b) and the exponents are :
1 , as (a-b) is the same number as (a-b)1
and 1 , as (a-b) is the same number as (a-b)1
The product is therefore, (a-b)(1+1) = (a-b)2
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(((a2)+(b2))•((a2)+(a2)))-(a+b)2•(a-b)2
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
2a2 • (a2 + b2) - (a + b)2 • (a - b)2
Step 3 :
3.1 Evaluate : (a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2 3.2 Evaluate : (a-b)2 = a2-2ab+b2
