Give the product of the following.

How would you

describe each
resulting
product in
relation to each
given factor ?
If an expression is a special product
like difference of two squares, how do
you solve the factors?
Lesson 1.2

Factoring by Difference of Two

Squares Factor the following :

(x + 4y)(x – 4y)

relatively prime
 Factor the following :

(2X + 4)(2X – 4)
Factor the following :
(2x + 4)(2x – 4)
(3x + 2)(3x – 2)
(x + 7)(x – 7)
(2x +6)(2x – 6)
(9x + 5)(9x – 5)

Lesson 1.2

Difference of Two Cubes. out!!

A polynomial in the form of the sum
and difference of two cubes? YES!
1st term a perfect cube? YES!
2nd term a perfect cube? YES!
Addition ? YES!
Subtraction ?YES!
Characteristics of the
*(binomial)(trinomial)
factors:
(cube root of 1st and 2nd)
(the operation same as the given cubes)
(square1st term and square of the 2nd term
of the binomial factor)
(product of the 1st term and 2nd term)
Numbers with perfect cube roots: 1, 8, 27,64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000..
