(x + 6)(x − 6) and (x − 6)(x − 6)

anonymous · Answer

(x+6)(x-6)=x^2-36 special factoring, the difference of squares

anonymous · Answer

(x-6)(x-6) =x^2-12x+36, special factoring, perfect square trinomial

anonymous · Answer

Compare: They both have perfect squares. They both are special factoring cases.

anonymous · Answer

Contrast. The difference of squares the middle terms cancel out. The perfect square trinomial the middle terms dont cancel.
