    Use Difference of Two Squares to Factor Quadratics

    A difference of two squares is one term squared minus


    another term squared: m2 – c2.

    You can use this equation to factor the


    difference of two squares:
    m2 – c2 = (m + c)(m – c)

    The difference The sum of The difference


    = ×
    of two squares the two terms between the two terms

    Example 1

    Factor x2 – 9.

    Solution

    Substitute x2 for m2 and 9 for c2 in the difference


    of two squares equation:
    m2 – c2 = (m + c) (m – c)
    x2 – 9 = (x + 3)(x – 3)
    The square
    root of 9 is 3. Don’t forget the
    opposite signs. 5

    Example 2

    Factor 4x2 – 25b2.


    Solution
    Work out the square root of each term:
    4x2 = (2x)2, so the square root of 4x2 is 2x.
    25b2 = (5b)2, so the square root of 25b2 is 5b.
    Put the values into the difference of two squares equation:
    m2 – c2 = (m + c)(m – c)
    4x2 – 25b2 = (2x + 5b)(2x – 5b)
    Square root of 4x2 Square root of 25b2

    Round Up

    If you see any quadratic expression in the form m2 – c2,


    you can use the difference of two squares to factor it
    as (m + c)(m – c), without needing to do all the math.
