1. State the next special product factoring rules

Difference between two squares a2-b2= (a-b)(a+b)

Square of a Binomial (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2

Cube of a Binomial (a+b)3 = a3 +3a2b + 3ab2+b3

Sum of Two Cubes a3+b3= (a+b)(a2-ab+b2)

Difference of Two Cubes a3-b3=(a-b)(a2+ab+b2)

2. Solve for x on the next equations.

x2-7x=
x(x-7)=0
x=0 , x-7=0 x=7

x2+2x-8=0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=-4, x=2

4x2+12x+5=0
20x2
10x 2x
12x
4x2+2x+10x+5=0
2x(2x+1) 5(2x+1)0
(2x+1)(2x+5)=0
x=-½ x=-5/2
