a difference of two squares looks like or can be written as u^2-v^2

Answer 4

Have a look at the given 64x^2 -40x+25. The first term represents the square of which quantity? The 3rd term repr. the square of which quantity? Can you draw any conclusions from these results?

Note that the u^2-v^2 given you by freckles can be factored into (u-v)(u+v). Is this helpful, or not helpful? Next, factor u^2 - 2uv + v^2. Helpful or not? Think.
