Key concepts

3 concepts

  1. 1

    The difference of two squares pattern is a² - b² which factors to (a + b)(a - b).

  2. 2

    To factor a difference of squares, take the square root of both terms and write them as a sum and a difference: (a + b)(a - b).

  3. 3

    When factoring 4y² - 16, the square root of 4y² is 2y and the square root of 16 is 4, so the factored form is (2y + 4)(2y - 4).
