Special Products and Factoring
2. a(x2 + y2) - a(x2 - xy - y2) = a[(x2 + y2) - (x2 - xy - y2)]
= a(x2 + y2 - x2 + xy + y2)
= a(2y2 +
xy)
= ay(2y
+ x)
= (x - 1)[x + 2 - 2x + 3]
= (x - 1)(5 - x)
Exercises:
Factor the given expressions:
Examples:
1. ax + bx - ay - by
= (ax + bx) - (ay + by)
= x(a + b) - y(a + b)
= (a + b)[x - y]
2. 2ax + 4ay + 3x - 3z + 6y - 2az
= (2ax + 3x) + (4ay + 6y) - (2az + 3z)
= x(2a + 3) + 2y(2a + 3) - z(2a + 3)
= (x + 2y - z)(2a + 3)

Factoring a General Quadratic Trinomial
A trinomial of the type ax2 + bxy + cy2 (a, b, c are
integers)
Examples:
1. 3x2 - 10xy - 8y2 = (3x + 2y)(x - 4y)
2. 12x2 - xy - 20y2 = (4x + 5y)(3x - 4y)
3. 6x4 + 7x2y2 - 3y4 = (3x2 - y2)(2x2 + 3y2)

Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
A perfect square trinomial is a polynomial wherein the
first and the third terms are perfect squares (making
them both positive) while the middle term is twice the
product of the positive square roots of the first and
third terms.
Examples:
◦ 1. (x2 + 2)2
◦ 2. (4ax2 - y)2
◦ 3. [2(x - y)]2
◦ 4. (x + 1/3)2
◦ 5. (2xy - 3y2)2

The Cube of a Binomial
The cube of a binomial containing the sum (or the difference)
of two terms is equal to the cube of the first term plus thrice
the product of the square of the first term and the second
term plus thrice the product of the first term and the square
of the second term plus the cube of the second term.
Hence,
The Cube of a Binomial
Examples:
1. (2x + 3y)3 = (2x)3 + 3(2x)2(3y) + 3(2x)(3y)2 + (3y)3
= 8x3 + (4x2)(9y) + (6x)(9y2) + 27y3
= 8x3 + 36x2y + 54xy2 + 27y3
x3 + y3 = (x + y)(x2 – xy + y2)
x3 – y3 = (x – y)(x2 + xy + y2)
Remark:
3. a2 + ab - 2b2 + 2a - 2b
= (a2 + ab - 2b2) + (2a - 2b) Grouping
= (a + 2b)(a - b) + 2(a - b) Quadratic trinomial
= (a + 2b + 2)(a - b)
4. 4c2 - a2 + 2ab - b2
= 4c2 - (a2 - 2ab + b2) Perfect square trinomial
= 4c2 - (a - b)2
= [2c + (a - b)][2c - (a - b)] Difference of squares
= (2c + a - b)(2c - a + b)
