(x + 4)(x – 4) = x2 – 4x + 4x – 16 = x2 – 16
}
(x + 4)(x – 4) = x2 – 4x + 4x – 16 = x2 – 16
(5 – y)(5 + y) = 25 +5y – 5y – y2 = 25 – y2
What do all of these
have in common?
x2 – 16 x2 – 9 25 – y2
(5 – 2)(5 + 2) = 25 – 4 = 21
3 7 = 21
The other special products are formed by squaring a binomial.
(x + 4)2 and (x – 6)2 are two example of binomials that have been
squared.
Let’s look at the first example: (x + 4)2
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
(2x – 5)(2x + 5)
