This document discusses factoring perfect squares and the difference of squares. It notes that (x + a)(x - a) = x^2 - a^2 and (a + bx)(a - bx) = a^2 - b^2x^2. Examples are given of factoring expressions like 81x - 49, 36x + 12x + 1, and 3x - 75. Students are then asked to factor expressions such as 36x - 121, 4x + 12x + 9, 32x - 98, and 4 - 20x + 25x. The learning target is to identify and factor perfect squares and difference of squares.
