Question

Part 1: Create a difference of squares binomial or a perfect square trinomial that can be factored multiple times. (1 point)

Part 2: Provide the factors of this polynomial. (2 points)

Part 3: Explain, in complete sentences, the process you used to create the binomial/trinomial. (2 points)

I know how to make a difference of squares binomial and perfect squares one, but some parts of the question are unclear to me so yeah.

Answer 1

All right. Where are you confused here?

Answer 2

Can you create one on your own, Lou?

Answer 3

Yeah
Difference of squares- (r+2)(r-2)
Perfect squares- (r+7)^2

Answer 4

That's right. You already completed part II!

Answer 5

How about Part III?

Answer 6

Um, I used my brain and rememberd difference of squares is always (a+b)(a-b) and perfect squares is always (a+b)^2 or (a-b)^2 and came up with one.

Answer 7

remembered* and would that just be it?

Answer 8

That's totally correct :)
Yes.

Answer 9

lol oh okay :)

Answer 10

Just write something like: I made an expression in the form \(a^2 - b^2\), or \((a + b)^2\)(in the case of a perfect square).

Answer 11

Wait hey what would be part I? would I just multiply what I did for part II to get it?

Answer 12

K parth :)

Answer 13

Like you said: (r + 2)(r - 2) and (r + 2)^2

Answer 14

Though, multiply it out to simplify it.

Answer 15

K that's what I thought :) thx a ton! :)

Answer 16

You're welcome!
