    FACTORING THE

    DIFFERENCE OF TWO
    SQUARES
    Mathematics 8
    Lesson Objectives:
    At the end of the session, you are expected to:
    1. state whether or not the given expression is a difference of two
    squares; and
    2. factor completely the difference of two squares.
    Factoring the difference of two squares is a
    special type of factoring, a problem that is
    often used in mathematics.
    The product of the sum and difference of two numbers is the
    difference between two squares.
    2 2
    That is, 𝑥 −𝑦
    Conversely, the difference of two squares is the product of the
    sum and difference of two numbers.

    Factoring the Difference of Two Squares
    Get the principal square root of each of the two squares.

    Using these square roots, form two factors, a sum and a


    difference.
    Example 1. Factor
    Solution:
    Examine whether the given is really a difference of two squares.

    Get the principal square root of each of the two squares.


    Square root of the first term. √𝑥 2
    ¿𝒙
    Square root of the second term. √ 36¿ 𝟔
    Using x and 6 , form the sum (x+6), and the difference (x - 6).

    Thus,
    Example 2. Factor

    Get the principal square root of each of the two squares.

    Using these square roots, form two factors, a sum and a


    difference.

    FACTORING THE
    SUM AND DIFFERENCE
    OF TWO CUBES
    Mathematics 8
    Lesson Objectives:
    At the end of the session, you are expected to:
    1. state whether or not the given expression is a sum and
    difference of two cubes; and
    2. factor completely the sum and difference of two cubes.
    These are the formulas for the sum
    and difference of two cubes:
    3 3 2 2
    𝑥 + 𝑦 =( 𝑥 + 𝑦 )( 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 )
    3 3 2 2
    𝑥 − 𝑦 =( 𝑥 − 𝑦 )( 𝑥 +𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 )
    In order to use these two formulas, you must be
    able to recognize numbers that are perfect cubes.

    1000 is a perfect cube since 1000 = 10 3

    125 is a perfect cube since 125 = 5 3

    64 is a perfect cube since 64 = 4 3

    8 is a perfect cube since 8 = 2 3

    1 is a perfect cube since 1 = 1 3


    Steps in Factoring the Sum and Difference of Two Cubes
    1. Get the cube root of each cubed term.
    2. Taking the operation between the cubes, use the cube
    roots in Step 1 to obtain a binomial factor.
    3. Form the trinomial factor as follows:
    a. Square the first cube root.
    b. Multiply the two cube roots. The sign of the product is
    opposite the sign between the cubes.
    c. Square the second cube root.
    For the sum of cubes, the terms of the trinomial factor
    have alternating signs.
    3 3 2 2
    𝑥 + 𝑦 =( 𝑥 + 𝑦 )( 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 )

    For the difference of cubes, the terms of the trinomial


    factor are all positive.
    3 3 2 2
    𝑥 − 𝑦 =( 𝑥 − 𝑦 )( 𝑥 +𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 )

    Example 2. Factor
