Factoring Differences of Two Squares

We can't factor using difference of two square this

25x² - 51y². Why?

• Because 51 is not a perfect cubed number.

• Because 51 is not a perfect squared number.

• Because 25 is not a perfect squared number.

• Because we can't factor using difference of two squares if it is addition sign.

We can't factor using difference of two square this

49x² + 4y². Why?

• Because 4 is not a perfect cubed number.

• Because 4 is not a perfect squared number.

• Because 49 is not a perfect squared number.

• Because we can't factor using difference of two squares if it is addition sign.

4x² - 16

• 4(2x + 4) (x - 2)

• 4(4x + 2) (x - 2)

• (2x + 4) (2x - 4)
