Factoring The Difference of Two Squares

This document provides instruction on factoring the difference of two squares. It begins with an example of factoring (1 - 9y^4) to get (1 + 3y^2)(1 - 3y^2). It then provides guided practice problems for students to work on factoring expressions like c^2 - d^2. It concludes by having students factor additional expressions involving differences of squares and assigning a word problem involving circles.

FACTORING

THE
DIFFERENCE
OF TWO
SQUARES

BOBBIE M.TOLENTINO
SST – III MATHEMATICS
ROOT/(S)
GIVE THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE FOLLOWING NUMBERS:
FACTORING
THE DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARES
Illustrative Example 1:

Factor (1 – 9y )
4
In the given polynomial, 1 and 9y4 are perfect squares
(their coefficients are perfect squares and their
exponents are even numbers).
Since subtraction is occurring between these squares,
this expression is the difference of two squares.
FACTORING
THE DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARES

Illustrative Example 1:

Factor (1 – 9y )
4

The factors are (1 + 3y2) and (1 – 3y2)

Therefore our answer is (1 + 3y2)(1 – 3y2)


LET’S TRY THIS OUT!
Guided Practice: By pair, factor the following:
1.c2 – d2
2.a – 1
2

3.(a + b)2 – 4c2


4.8x – 25
2

5.a b - 144
2 2
ABSTRACTION:

The factors of the difference of two squares are


the products of the sum and difference of the
same two terms.

Such that: (a2 – b2) = (a + b)(a – b)


APPLICATION/ASSESSMENT

Factor the following:


1. 144a2 – 169b2 6. x2 – 49
2. 1 – 0.25a2 7. a2 – 1
3. 16x2 – 121 8. a2b2 – 16
4. 64a2 – (9/25) b2 9. 16x2 – 49
5. x4 – 256 10. 54x2 – 6y2
CLOSURE/ASSIGNMENT
Follow up:
Solve the following:

The sum of the areas of two circles is 80p square meters. Find
the length of a radius of each circle if one of them is twice as
long as the other.
