Finding Near Squares Using Polynomial Identities

This video tutorial explains how to find the near square of a number using polynomial identities. It begins with an introduction to polynomial identities and their properties, followed by a demonstration of multiplying polynomial expressions. The concept of near squares is introduced, showing their relation to perfect squares. The tutorial then applies polynomial identities to find near squares, providing examples to illustrate the process. By the end, viewers will understand how to use polynomial identities to determine near squares and rearrange squares into rectangles.
