Description
Difference of Squares: When a quadratic polynomial is written as a difference of squares, it can be factored as a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b). Examples: x2 - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2), x4 - 16x2 = (x2 + 4x)(x2 - 4x). Focuses on simplifying cubic polynomials, which is critical for solving equations and analyzing functions.
