Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.1 Factoring: a2-b2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (a + b) • (a - b)
Final result :
(a + b) • (a - b)
