a3 + b3
a3 – b3

Special Factoring
Difference in Two Squares a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Sum of Two Cubes a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2)
Difference of Two Cubes a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
![Page 4: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Difference in Two Squares a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Example: x2 – 100(x)2 – (10)2 a = x and b = 10(x + 10)(x – 10)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 64x2 – 9(8x)2 – (3)2 a = 8x and b = 3 (8x + 3)(8x – 3)
![Page 5: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Difference in Two Squares a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Example: 49x2 – 81y2
(7x)2 – (9y)2 a = 7x and b = 9y (7x + 9y)(7x – 9y)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 169x4 – 9y4
(13x2)2 – (3y2)2 a = 13x2 and b = 3y2
(13x2 + 3y2)(13x2 – 3y2)
![Page 6: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Difference in Two Squares a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Example: x6 – y8
(x3)2 – (y4)2 a = x3 and b = y4
(x3 + y4)(x3 – y4)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 81x2 – 9y2 GCF = 99(9x2 – y2)
9[(3x)2 – (y)2] a = 3x and b = y 9(3x2 + y)(3x – y)
![Page 7: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Difference in Two Squares a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
Example: p4 – 1(p2)2 – (1)2 a = p2 and b = 1(p2 + 1) (p2 – 1) (p2 + 1)(p + 1)(p – 1)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Also a difference in two squares(p)2 – (1)2
![Page 8: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sum of Two Cubes a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
Example: x3 + 125(x)3 + (5)3 a = x and b = 5(x + 5) (x2 – 5x + 52) (x + 5)(x2 – 5x + 25)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 125x3 + 27y3 (5x)3 + (3y)3
a = 5x and b = 3y(5x + 3y) ((5x)2 – (3y)(5x) +
(3y)2) (5x + 3y)(25x2 – 15xy + 9y2)
![Page 9: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Difference of Two Cubes a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
Example: z3 – 216 (z)3 – (6)3 a = z and b = 6(z – 6) (z2 + 6z + 62) (z – 6)(z2 + 6z + 36)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 27m3 – n3
(3m)3 – (n)3
a = 3m and b = n(3m – n) [(3m)2 + (3m)(n) +
n2] (3m – n)(9m2 + 3mn + n2)
![Page 10: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. If all of the terms of the polynomial have a GCF other than 1, factor it out.
2. If the polynomial has two terms determine if it is a difference of two squares or a sum or difference of two cubes. Factor using formula.
3. If the polynomial has three terms, factor using any method we have discussed.
4. If the polynomial has more than three terms, try factoring by grouping.
5. Examine your factored polynomial to determine whether the terms in any factors have a common factor. If yes, factor out any common factors.
General Procedure for Factoring a Polynomial
![Page 11: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example: 5x4 – 405x2
GCF = 5x2
5x2(x2 – 81) 5x2(x + 9)(x – 9)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 3p2 q2 + 12p2q – 36p2
GCF = 3p2
3p2(q2 + 4q – 12) (3p2)(q – 2)(q + 6)
General Procedure forFactoring a Polynomial
Difference in Two Squares
(x)2 – (9)2
Factor again
Factors -12 add 4
(-2)(6) -2 + 6
![Page 12: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example: 3t3r2 – 12tr2 + 15r2
GCF = 3r2
3r2(t3 – 4t + 5)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 5rt + 5r – 15t -15
GCF = 55(rt + r – 3t – 3) 5 (r)(t + 1) – 3(t + 1)5(t + 1)(r – 3)
General Procedure forFactoring a Polynomial
PRIME
More than 3 terms so we can try Factor by Grouping at this point.
Factors 5 add -4
(1)(5) 1 + 5 = 6
(-1)(-5) -1 + -5 = -6
![Page 13: MTH 10905 Algebra Special Factoring Formulas and a General Review of Factoring Chapter 5 Section 5.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649e615503460f94b5d2f8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example: 45x2 – 45x – 50GCF = 55(9x2 – 9x – 10)5(9x2 + 6x – 15x – 10)5 [(3x)(3x + 2) – (5)(3x + 2)]5(3x + 2)(3x – 5)
You can always check with the FOIL method
Example: 3m4n + 192mnGCF = 3mn3mn(m3 + 64)3mn(m3 + 43) 3mn(m + 4)(m2 – 4m +16)
General Procedure forFactoring a Polynomial
Factor by Grouping
a = 9 b = -9 c = -10
a • c = 9 • -10 = -90
Factor -90 add -9
(6)(-15) 6 + -15
Sum in Two Cubes
(a3 + b3)
(a + b)(a – ab +b2)
a = m b = 4

Remember
Learning to recognize special forms will help when you encounter them later.
There is no special form for the sum of two squares, only the difference of two squares has a special form.
When there are only two terms, you should try special forms for squares or cubes.
Try factor by grouping when you have more than three terms.
Sometimes trial and error is necessary in factoring, therefore the more you practice the more you will understand when to use trial and error and when to use another method.
