Difference of Two Square

The document discusses factoring the difference of two squares. It defines perfect squares as integers that can be expressed as the square of another integer. It provides examples of perfect squares from 1 to 100. It then explains that the difference of two squares can be factored by grouping the first terms and subtracting the second terms. The document provides examples of factoring expressions that are the difference of two squares such as 9x^2 - 100, 4x^2 - 81, 81m^2 - 4n^2p^4, and -49x^8 + 25. It concludes with exercises for the reader to factor completely.

PERFECT SQUARE
• An integer that can be expressed as the square
of another integer.
• product of some integer with itself.

4 = 2 x 2
9 = 3 x 3

16 = 4 x 4
25 = 5 x 5

36 = 6 x 6
49 = 7 x 7

64 = 8 x 8
81 = 9 x 9

100 = 10 x 10
PERFECT SQUARE NUMBERS
FROM 1 TO 100
1 = 1x1 = 12

4 = 2x2 = 2 2

9 = 3x3 = 3 2

16 = 4x4 = 4 2

25 = 5x5 = 5 2
PERFECT SQUARE NUMBERS
FROM 1 TO 100
36 = 6x6 = 6 2

49 = 7x7 = 7 2

64 = 8x8 = 8 2
