10.7 Factoring Special Products
Difference of Two Squares Pattern/
Perfect Square Trinomials
Objectives
• I will identify and use special product patterns to factor quadratic polynomials.
Factoring the Difference of Two Squares
1. x2 - 36
= x2 - 62 Write in a2 - b2 form
= (x + 6)(x - 6) Factor using the pattern (a + b)(a - b) = a2 -
b2
Factoring the Difference of Two Squares
2. 9x2 - 121
= (3x)2 - 112 Write in a2 - b2 form
= (3x + 11)(3x - 11)Factor using the pattern (a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2
Factoring the Difference of Two Squares
3. 12x2 - 75
= 3(4x2 - 25) Factor out a common factor
= 3[(2x)2 - 52] Write in a2 - b2 form
= 3(2x + 5)(2x - 5) Factor using the pattern(a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2
