FACTORS-DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARE

Difference Of Two Square 

Polynomials which are in the form of the difference of two squares can be factorized by using the following relations => a² -b² = ( a + b ) ( a – b )

Example.1)  Factorized  49a² - 36b²

Ans.)  49a² - 36b² =  ( 7a + 6b ) ( 7a – 6b )



Example.2)  Factorize a²- ( b + c )²

Ans.)  a² - ( b + c )²

    = { a – ( b + c )} { a + ( b + c )}

    = ( a – b – c ) ( a + b + c )


 

Example-3)   Factorize  a⁴ - b⁴

Ans.)   a⁴ - b⁴ = ( a² + b² ) ( a² - b² )

                 = ( a² + b² ) ( a + b ) ( a – b )


 

Example.4)  Factorize  (0.30 )⁴ - (0.20)⁴

 Ans.)    (0.30 )⁴ - (0.20)⁴   

        =   {(0.30 )² + (0.20)²}  {(0.30 )² - (0.20)²} 

        =   {(0.30 )² + (0.20)²}  ( 0.30 + 0.20 ) ( 0.30 – 0.20 )

        =   ( 0.09 + 0.04 ) ( 0.50 ) ( 0.10 )

        =   ( 0.13 ) X ( 0.05)

        =   0.0065                  (Ans.)
